Come on Bentway-lol! Laughing with you, not at you. Education is the opposite of indoctrination because one is NOT allowed to question indoctrination, and ENCOURAGED to question education.

The Socratic method, in fast.

"Indoctrination is the process of inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies or a professional methodology (see doctrine). [1]

It is often distinguished from education by the fact that the indoctrinated person is expected not to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned. [2

] As such the term may be used pejoratively, often in the context of education, political opinions, theology or religious dogma. The term is closely linked to socialization; in common discourse, indoctrination is often associated with negative connotations, while socialization refers to cultural or educational learning.

Education IS indoctrination, Koan. The Nazis show that it can be bent to evil as well as good. Education by itself does not form a person's morality.
