🎨 How Education Systems Strip Away Individuality
Schools are meant to foster lifelong learning but instead condition students to accept information without genuine interest. Students learn to say things are 'interesting' because that's expected, not because they truly find them engaging.
🎨➡️⚫ The system strips away individuality - people enter full of color and vibrancy but emerge gray and numb.
We lose our ability to think independently, always seeking:

- What authority figures want to hear
❓ Students asking 'Will this be on the test?' reveals how learning became about gaining favor rather than genuine understanding.
⚠️ Important note: Even rebellious responses are still reactive, not truly independent thinking.
