So what are they indoctrinating them to think?

It's not indoctrination. It's all about money and 'reform' and 'closing the gap' and 'equality.'

I could write 500 pages on this but I don't think anyone wants to read it. So, I shall use the short story.

It goes like this...

1. Some kids succeed and some don't.
2. District calls in a consultant and pays him a shite load of money.
3. Consultant's ideas are implemented in the district with a catchy name like "Everyone is a STAR"
4. Teachers go through expensive training to learn the STAR system.
5. After 3 years there is no change in achievement levels. STAR is deemed a failure.
6. District goes to another consultant. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. It's been going on for 60 years.

It's all about the money.
