@JuliusGoat Strongly feel this. It was shocking when I taught in public school, how few parents or teachers had the courage to say aloud that their purpose was to support students in learning to think for themselves. I hung a sign on my wall that said, "The purpose of your education is to enable you to live your life through your own informed choices." I told them that each day, if I showed up without that purpose, I was failing at my job. They deserved that respect.
