brain washing and education

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 5:26pm.
Yep, I suspect the ability of the nervous system to generate its own inputs leads to lots of teacher frustration. It can, of course, also help teachers if they let it. And yes, I suspect the same thing makes us resistant to brain washing. But, its also true that teachers/the educational system can discourage people from generating their own input, which would make them more vulnerable to brain washing?
