The modern educational system has a hundred years of programming to produce
people who, like machine parts, are relatively interchangeable. One of the
worst things that a school-based authority can have to deal with is a puple who
disagrees. Outright punishment, covert (or not) ridicule, and psychological
profiling are all typical (as in more common than not) responses to students
disagreeing with authority.
And it's not going to change unless you make it happen.
Send your kids to schools (whatever the extra cost) that do not respond that
way. To schools that are preparing kids for the 21st century instead of the
19th. (My vote goes the educational model based on The Sudbury Valley School
http://www.sudval.org/ )
Good luck,
Chris
