"The true purpose of schooling, according to Gatto, is to produce an easily manageable workforce to serve employers in a mass-production economy.  Actual education is a secondary and even counterproductive result since educated people tend to be more difficult to control."

(The only difference between the U.S. and European systems, is that the Europeans seem to be better and getting students to "believe" they've been educated.)
