Description
Do schools help build academic unity or build walls between the already capable and the "outsiders" who don't fit inside the system? And does education expand your mind or just bend it to the thoughts and beliefs of others?

I'm pretty convinced, however, that school serves as a boot camp preparation for all the bigotry, bullying, unfairness, injustice, stereotyping, and all the other social and emotional conflicts we're destined to enjoy later in life, as children seem to prove equally capable of these actions as do adults.

Full Lyrics:

The Happiest Days of Our Lives

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could.
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids,
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives!

Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.

An odd sentiment to carry whilst I attend university, but there you have it. Of course, this is arguing against ineffective education rather than removing education all together.
