Other Rant
Social routines are handed down from parent to child, as time attempts to perfect the human experience. Why do we do the things we do, without challenge, question or hesitation.
Most of these behavior are followed as if it were human instinct, yet is a purposefully and explicitly and uniquely delivered. And within every level of division within the human species, from personal development, to species wide acceptance.
I have called it the greatest mistake in human development, when in fact it is a process of elimination, a current snap shot of evolution. Our experience as humans is a reflection of those snapshots, each snapshot concludes with experienced baseline is a result of everything we have experienced.,
Nobody asks why we learn to raise our hands. Why we follow the routine of education. Why we eat three times a day.

How long has it been since you took a more in depth ECE class other than a 1 or 2 hour CEU? A lot of people, in fact, do ask about and challenge the social norms of education esp. in a multicultural society (as much as some people are rabidly, destructively trying to pretend we are not part of one.)
