Anyway, your "prison" feeling wasn't yours alone. It was like a cage that held kids back. Time for a major restructuring IMO.

Gosh, I was given more than I could possibly absorb and was constantly challenged to think. I was introduced to many, many wonderful thinkers through literature, science, and math. School opened the world of ideas for me. We even had to study advertising and propaganda. School and my liberal instructors were instrumental for me in unlearning everything I was taught. It was a fabulous education. It's helped me unlearn all the rest of my life.

That's nice that you felt challenged and "unlearned" things. I'm sure you are the way you are because of your "schooling" too. The public education system isn't about cranking "societal" drones or liberal wonks like you. It's for education - not liberal indoctrination. I and others were held back and caged by that system you thought was so great. I pushed to learn more and was blocked at every turn. The Public School System needs to be public - not government. The system shouldn't hold everyone to the lowest common denominator - it should provide avenues for students to learn at achieve at a quicker rate if need be.

zephyrprime - did you read your link? I think it was page 11(IIRC) Basically the test scoring then isn't the same as now and it'd be more than 10pts from what I remember reading.
