On the questions of Education:
Public Education vs. Private Education: More on the issue of Private Education.
From the Cory Doctorow novel, the issue of education and how it is supervised is one of the core themes. In it, he explores the relationship between those who follow the rigidity of indoctrination and those who see pass its superficiality. I have always attended Private Schools for my education - specifically, religious schools. They followed a certain way of teaching subjects and I questioned their methods. In the novel the relationship between Marcus, Charles, Mrs. Galvez, and Mrs. Andersen shows the intricate relationship between those who are restraint and those who are activist.
If Cory Doctorow were assessing the problem, then the answer is a little clear. Then education should be free of indoctrination. It should not force a certain viewpoint but present the data where the student that should be deciding. Forcing a certain view regardless of whether it is good or bad erases the creativity and ability of the students to think freely. They will derive most of their beliefs from only one perspective and possibly reject the others.
