Quote #6 on Education Struggle Quotes >> School and Conformity
“American universities are moving with the tide and are on the way to transforming themselves into vast automated degree-punching factories, equipped with computers, closed-circuit television, and rows of teaching machines. At one end of the factory the raw freshmen are sucked in and, with the minimum of human contact, are passed from process to process, imbibing information on the way, regurgitating it at set intervals to be inspected by machines. If not revealed defective they will emerge at the other end, exhausted perhaps, but ready to be stamped with the firm's warranty.”
