I shall say that sometimes it seems that 90% of the industry's energy is spent keeping teachers docile.

The docile teacher won't confront or resist the primary goal of the industry, to create a docile and compliant populace.

Conform. I couldn't take it as a teacher, I couldn't take it in administration, I quit both after several years.

No matter how hard you try, it can't be changed in a meaningful and lasting way from within.
