There are hundreds of QTs from Nazis talking about how they were the smartest kids ever but the damn (((education system))) hampered them, and anyone who doesn't believe that they're hyper geniuses is simply a seething lib.
You're supposed to get over the "I was a gifted kid" stuff by the time you're 20.
one of my steps baby steps towards marxism was learning about the Prussian school model of education while trying to understand why US public schools were just so terrible at teaching anyone to actually think
Not necesarily. I think al ghazali was xomplaining how his students were in it only for the prestige and employmen oportunities and not for the knoledge or religiosity. And it reminded me of engeneering students.

don't really know what you're saying here, it was just the focus on making people into factory workers via instilling of obedience and compliance with mundane and repetitive tasks that gave me a sense of 'manufacturing consent' via schooling etc
I think the repetitive tasks has to do more woth the fact that when prestige is atached to education. Going through the proses of repetitive tasks is meore eficient. So most students will do that. Even if your teacher is a great philosofer and is complaining about it.
Sure taylorism does not help. But ultimatley its about education as the means of reproducing a calss structure.
