[E. Pluribus Unum]

Our "education system" is based on the Prussian school system, meant to train Prussian farmboys to be soldiers.

The Prussian education system was designed to indoctrinate children from age 6 to 16 into full compliance with the state and its military leaders. It was born of Prussia's military failings in the Napoleonic Wars.1 The system consisted of tiers, with all education being free for eight years.0 The aim was to keep the ruling elites in power while encouraging the masses to be loyal to the government.3 Today, the Prussian education system is the model for education in many modern nations, including the United States.2

There are lots of different ways to educate children.

The Prussian model is just one, but it seems to be the only one most people will accept, and it was "designed to keep the ruling elites in power."

Yep.

To say that our system is like the Prussian is to miss the exciting subtleties. Everyone embraced that method; the government was doing just what it promised to do. We have a situation where the government says it’s gonna do A but the whole system is devoted to B.

I am interested in the dishonesty of our education establishment.
