(This issue of impeding anything from getting done, the real, unstated purpose of most government and business organizations, is extensively developed in Charles Dickens' "Little Dorrit" (trailer), about an inventor, Daniel Doyce, who has a promising invention and production business, but who is perpetually stymied trying to get permits by a government bureau called the Circumlocution Office, which is only in business to stop anything from happening—but in the case of England, for hundreds of years, the unspoken grammar is that you COULD get something approved, if you gave bribes. At the very beginning of compulsory, universal education, from 1880-1920, the explicit purpose as pushed by the university educationalism cartel at the behest of, then, the Titans of Industry, the oligarchs of the Robber Baron era, was to keep disruptive competition from penniless inventors and entrepreneurs stomped down, by strangling young people's initiative and self-acualization, stamping out uniformly repetitive human-resources "parts" for industry and commerce. The elites’ most efficient solution was to undermine this threat by strangling it in the cradle; the effort to control, at the dawn of the information age, the intellectual uprising of the common people coalesced in the very foundation of universal, compulsory/police-enforced public schooling.
