hmmmm strongly disagreee Punk.
Steve Perkins and Dave Navarro went to my high school. (Dave was kicked out for drugs.) Tommy Tedesco's son also went to my school, as did Jerry Pournelle and a host of other free thinking and not conservative movie/arts types.

hmmm, I just had a thought, going to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs came to mind as I was thinking about the schools in the Philippines. Very conservative, uniforms, dress codes, priests, sisters, etc. BUT the public schools don't have those same pressures, but still conform in a similar way.
When Skogafoss and I were talking to people about the poor children who can't learn in school because they shared just 1 book for the entire class, and there were several classes per day, you can imagine how difficult that would be to learning. They added, that sometimes they serve breakfast because hunger is distracting. Now this is where you'll have to follow my logic, but if we follow Maslow's needs, it's not far off to say that the rest of the needs are also a distraction if they aren't fulfilled.
Quote:
Physiological Needs
These are biological needs. They consist of needs for oxygen, food, water, and a relatively constant body temperature. They are the strongest needs because if a person were deprived of all needs, the physiological ones would come first in the person's search for satisfaction.
Safety Needs
When all physiological needs are satisfied and are no longer controlling thoughts and behaviors, the needs for security can become active. Adults have little awareness of their security needs except in times of emergency or periods of disorganization in the social structure (such as widespread rioting). Children often display the signs of insecurity and the need to be safe.
Needs of Love, Affection and Belongingness
When the needs for safety and for physiological well-being are satisfied, the next class of needs for love, affection and belongingness can emerge. Maslow states that people seek to overcome feelings of loneliness and alienation. This involves both giving and receiving love, affection and the sense of belonging.
Needs for Esteem
When the first three classes of needs are satisfied, the needs for esteem can become dominant. These involve needs for both self-esteem and for the esteem a person gets from others. Humans have a need for a stable, firmly based, high level of self-respect, and respect from others. When these needs are satisfied, the person feels self-confident and valuable as a person in the world. When these needs are frustrated, the person feels inferior, weak, helpless and worthless.
