Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because he saw education for what it has always been - a system that places a high premium on mastering fixed concepts, certainties and absolutes.

Because he saw that education works on matching a student’s output with the standard expected answer. If the output matches the answer is correct. No tolerance for a ‘different’ answer.

Because he saw that there is a rigid emphasis on classifications, categorizations and definitions to bring order which is one of the aims of education. However, this emphasis stifles creativity.

Because he saw that education has no tolerance for uncertainty. Exploration of a subject is considered a waste of time and actively discouraged. Pursuit of accuracy and precision is handsomely rewarded.

Because he saw that education doesn’t concern itself with providing settings in which curiosity could be encouraged. Creating curious minds can be the only worthwhile objective of education.
