Bending The Student To Reality
In 1962, an NIMH-sponsored report, The Role of Schools in Mental Health, stated unambiguously, "Education does not mean teaching people to know"[p.156]. What then? "it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave"[p.156], a clear echo of the Rockefeller Foundation’s "dream" from an earlier part of the century. Schools were behavioral engineering plants; what remained was to convince kids and parents there was no place to hide.
