If you design a system to do something specific, don’t be surprised if it does it. If you run an education system based on standardization and conformity that suppresses individuality, imagination, and creativity, don’t be surprised if that’s what it does.

The success of those who do well in the system comes at a high price for the many who do not.

Too often, those who are succeeding are doing so in spite of the dominant culture of education, not because of it.
