The 'baby' in this case is a system designed to deprive children of curiosity and autonomy in order to transform them into productive assembly line workers and obedient soldiers.

It is not merely un-American; it is anti-American.

This particular 'baby' should be thrown out with the bath water, shot, shot again, then thrown into the forge-fire and obliterated.

A return to the mixed-age education model that existed prior to the adoption of the Kaiserian system, where older and more advanced children serve as both instructors and role models for younger children alongside a teacher, introducing them to responsibility and strengthening their understanding of topics while the younger children benefit from a variety of teaching styles.

Essentially, all schooling was a group-homeschooling model prior to the assembly-line concept.
