More doublespeak BS from your Government. They say they want to make independent free thinkers from the children, but they are actually indoctrinating them, training them to obey their masters, and punish them if they question them.
I can literally recall my own teachers saying this to me, they always said that kids should think more out of the box, and not just memorize the subjects but to independently verify them. Of course whenever somebody criticized the teacher or the information, they got mad immediately and started yelling at us. I really cant imagine what kind of schizophrenia must all teachers suffer from to double speak like this. I am sure many of you can recall similar events from your school years.
Well, the modern government school system was modeled after the Prussian educational model, which purpose is to train factory workers and soldiers, who obey authority without questioning it. The saying that they want to make "children independent", is a big lie, they are creating new slaves of the government.
