The problems of education. Since the beginning of modern day, people have been in constant rejection of critical thinking due to the hardwiring of the school system. What classes tend to offer, the information at hand, are obligatory formulas where the solution to a problem is, by all means, the only one. By those standards, the student's imagination becomes limited, and with enough exposure, starts to see the world - not as contrastically as he used to - but with only two colours: black and white. A person without education possesses the power to see the world through a meta-perspective; that is to say, no one can classify that whatever is, is right; for it differs from person to person in that mode of discourse. In terms of bringing out the best of oneself, and without any boundaries set up by external sources to limit one's potential with a specific potent answer, so instead of one possibility, there will be instead plenties to choose from. The term "education" in and of itself means to "bring out", but what the teachers do, and the school systems, is "insert information"; needless to say, this is an incredibly stagnative approach. If the student cannot bring out the best of himself, with the help of an enabler, but instead becomes a cheap imitation of a textbook of which already contains the specified questions, and answers - how will the student ever benefit mankind with his limitation of innovative thinking? It's counter-intuitive to its fullest! To identify the problem with specificity: the school board seeks for obedience, rather than critical thinkers - bureaucrats are frightened that more and more people will identify the problems of society, and act upon their discoveries - so they seek to limit the potential, rather than enabling the brilliance of people's souls as much as they can. The utilitarianistic principle that Jeremy Bentham depicted, and of which his successor John Stuart Mill elaborated on died for a reason, this is most probably it.
