    The primary function of true education is to nurture each individual’s growth so that they fulfill their true potential. A primary part of this is to teach people to think for themselves.

    The primary function of current mainstream education is to produce workers and soldiers who will follow orders after being indoctrinated into a false history and disempowering world view.

    True education nurtures individuality and mainstream education discourages independent thinking.
