Maybe some technologically-inclined educators could start considering ways to use technology to loosen the police-state atmosphere up a bit, before college. Perhaps if we didn't shackle the students together at the equally-boring-for-all pace, students would retain enough interest in learning to not necessitate a police state to maintain order with unruly (read: restless, bored, requiring other forms of stimulation) students. Technology can allow more personalized learning rates.
