To see the problem clearly, imagine being a girl in a school that is the mirror image of today's schools....I've been waiting for the pendulum to start swinging in the other direction for decades.
Imagine that students get rewarded for being overtly aggressive in school and that there is a zero tolerance policy for being passive.
Imagine getting extra credit for resisting authority, and having points deducted for being compliant with arbitrary rules and meaningless deadlines.
