| Tim: | The strangest things happen in the name of “education.” |
| Satoru: | Indeed. At times it seems like a charade. It's all too easy to pass through most schools with minimal deep learning. Many schools seems are but factories producing Mickey-Mouse consumers. |
| Melissa: | Isn't that what the system wants? |
| Tim: | Television already does an adequate job of making people dumber than they need to be. The ancient Greeks knew that real education meant something quite different.. |
| Liao: | (chuckling to himself) As if the ancient Greeks actually agreed about such things! At any rate, I think we have to accept that schools are not perfect. Neither is our society. |
| Melissa: | Maybe we idealize schools too much . . . |
