“Is everybody going along with this?” “Yeah. So you have to, too.” Ellie paused. “No, I don’t,” she said after a moment. “What?” “I don’t have to go along with it.” “But I just said that everybody else is.” “I don’t care.

“Hvis problemet er at skolen straffer manglende oppmøte, bør straffingen - snarere enn det manglende oppmøtet som sådan - identifiseres som problemet. Hvis det er noe skolen/lærere gjør som skaper problemer for barnet, så si det eksplisitt. Ikke beskytt den sterke og profesjonelle parten i relasjonen ved å være høflig, og dermed plassere et problem i barnet når det ikke hører hjemme der.”

“Politicians wholeheartedly supported mandatory formal schooling, acknowledging its immense capacity to compel taxpayers, perplex parents and damage students, all the while directly bolstering the party and its devoted followers. The ruling party implemented tax funded, education policies primarily for its own benefit, contrary to the Constitution, disregarding the burden imposed on taxpayers, parents, and children who are affected by them. The intention from the beginning was never to benefit anyone in the country outside of the ruling party’s members, at the expense of the taxpayer.”

“Contrary to popular belief, the poor quality of education provided by the schooling system is not simply a result of incompetence. The education system ought to provide students with practical life skills to improve their own lives and succeed financially. However, this may pose a threat to the voter base. The ruling party intentionally undermines the education system to prevent graduates from acquiring sufficient knowledge to unveil the ruling party's deception. The curriculum is also modified to indoctrinate the masses in propaganda that attributes blame for failure of the current government to someone else.”
