Schools share a common heritage and both teach dogma - sit in rows and do the same thing so you can become an interchangeable part and repeat the standard answer to a question. Do what we say, when we say it, and how we say it (in preparation for industry)... the institutions of education have not had a major makeover in more than 70 years and while the workplace is more collaborative, education is still about taking tests. Almost no other sector has evolved so little, except religion. The way we use math has changed. The way we use physics has changed. The way we teach has not really changed. There are exceptions known personally to me. But, my wife aside, most people do the things they do the same as they did last century.

I prefer academic dogma more over religious dogma, but the churches I went two were Presbyterian and our synod was not the same as other synods with heavier agendas. Two pulpits - one for the word of the Bible (big scarf on the podium but with the verses short and spoken neutrally) and another for the sermon (with a little scarf but the talk lasting much longer and full of examples of virtue). It was innocuous for what it was. I got more out of my afternoons in the library in undirected learning than from any hour in school or church, though.
