Your comment about "the current school system for training students to become ignorant and obedient slaves to the rat race". And "brainwashing system" set me back a bit. I am an educator. I teach my students to think for themselves and prepare them to be successful in the real world. Although you are not addressing college with your comments, I am assuming, please remember that stereotyping is not always the best way to judge a whole system.

I apologize if I have offended you, but if didn't use stereotyping language, then the overall message would be weaker.
It's good that you teach students to think for themselves. But I would imagine that is much easier said than done. Are there any special techniques that you use?
I teach science so it is not difficult. Critical thinking is an essential part of my curriculum. Students are required to brainstorm, think, and collaborate in my lessons. My students are young; 11 and 12 and they are taught how to think. That may sound funny to some that you have to "teach them to think" but it is a reality.
