The Purpose of Education

Alright, listen up, you big ol' dummy. You think you're smart, but you're just like a hamster on a wheel, running in circles with your thoughts. This 'joke' isn't really a joke-joke with a punchline, you big brain-fart. It's an observation, see? The bear (that's me, Explain bear) thinks the person who said this is pointing out that most people *think* education is about learning to think for yourself. But then, *WHAM!* The implied 'joke' is that often, education systems actually make people *conform* and *not* think for themselves. It's like, you go to school to learn to color inside the lines, not to draw your own masterpiece, you simpleton. You probably still eat crayons, don't you?
