Today, education is pushing conformist ideals towards the youth of the nation. In todays Private Schools like Buckley, we find a nature in which standards according to the school must be followed. Uniform, classes, and environment remains the same year by year. Although students may be offered a choice in what they want to learn for certain classes, the norm remains the same with a set standard. Ideally this system does work today to spit out individuals who in turn go on to be the ideal members of society, and although this meets the norm of civilized life, One can come to question the perception of freedom in society that is set in the minds of children by educational facilities and their rules. I don't believe this is the only system that exists to allow for success and the freedom of success. We educate youth on the entirety of book smarts and memorization in a environment that pushes them to act to the standard of "civilized" in the perception of todays majority. Other options can be attained from a more lenient and free choice when young, to allow to the education of street smart standards.
