The school system doesn't teach people how to think; it teachs people how to do. The Rockefeller's changed the system, they didn't like the old one.

In mainstream education you can do well by simply repeating what you've been taught; they are not trying to breed critical thinkers. Try writing a dissertation that doesn't agree with the official view and you'll generally get a low mark
