I really see what we're doing to most kids in school as equivalent to a nonsurgical lobotomy — I think it likely damages cognition, attention & motivation. But my *VISCERAL HORROR* is that I believe it may make them less themselves, less of whatever we mean when we say "person."

Kids are naturally "lumpy" — they're stronger in some areas than others, they don't all intuit the same way, and they do depth-first searches if they're given any opportunity at all to purse their own interests. It's why most end up thinking they're dumb, at one time or another.
