“Far from helping students to develop into mature, self-reliant, self-motivated individuals, schools seem to do everything they can to keep youngsters in a state of chronic, almost infantile, dependency. The pervasive atmosphere of distrust, together with rules covering the most minute aspects of existence, teach students every day they are not people of worth, and certainly not individuals capable of regulating their own behavior.”
~ Chas. E. Silberman in Crisis in the Classroom
