Not all teachers, thank goodness! I am one of the few rebel teachers I know though, so you do have a point. My students and I have countless discussions on critical thinking, control, manipulation, and trusting in oneself, and most importantly, the necessity of doubt, and asking questions. I never use the word obedience...it reeks of control, and not of one taking charge. There is a huge difference. In any case, it was best I eventually went out on my own as opposed to working within the public system; I was always getting into trouble for defying orders, and instead, doing what made the best sense for my students.... sort of like what the ethical doctors were doing, rather than following nonsensical, and dangerous orders. Crazy clown world we are living through.
