Anyone who knows the background of the american complusory indoctrination method knows that this is completely normal. I would go so far as to say that the school system in this country exists not to educate children, but rather to train them to be complacent workers, comfortable with the key employment concepts of strict adherence to a heirarchy, acceptance and embracing of the class system, potty breaks, strict scheduled meal breaks... Complusory schooling is where children learn the tools needed to cope with amazing boredom, repetitious menial tasks involving subject matter they do not care about, stand in line, raise their hand, suppress individuality, deal with being in virtual lockdown for 7 hours a day, learn how to appease the power structure to receive symbolic rewards.. Why anyone would want to spend even more money attempting to perfect this system is beyond me. One camp blames the teachers, one camp blames the students. Many people are astounded that every 14 year old is not on the exact same page... The labels they receive in ther formative years are permanent. Labels like "retarded, anti-social, gifted, learning disabled" etc... Ridiculous. Scrap the whole prussian method and try something entirely different.
