You are correct in terms of the 4th cookie cutter. When it comes to education today, it is more of an indoctrination exercise rather than real learning (part of the reason why I now homeschool my son). The teacher has much less authority today than when we went to school to teach the way that they want due to the fear of losing their jobs. Most people don't see the social conditioning seeping into education effectively hijacking any opportunity for unbiased learning.
