Teachers who go against the machine get chewed up and spit out. They want everyone to go along to get along...That's not thinking, it's propaganda.

I spent 14 years in public schools. Here’s the TRUTH I learned: Parents are sidelined. Excellence is ignored. Mediocrity is rewarded. Bureaucracy always wins. Good teachers burn out fast. Curiosity is treated like a problem. Students are numbers, not people. Standardized tests

I've been studying famous entrepreneurs (mostly through the Founders Podcast). The no. 1 lesson: Just start. Mistakes will happen problems will arise... But that's business.
