Teaching kids to become problem solvers is difficult. Teaching the skills to solve problems is very concrete, but problem-solving itself is very abstract. One of the big challenges as a HS teacher is to get kids to transition from the concrete to the abstract.
Outside of ideology one of the reasons you so so much indoctrination in schools is because it is much easier to teach a kid what to think, a very concrete thing, than it is to teach them how to think, very abstract.
Trump bad - Very concrete and requires no thought.
Why is Trump bad? - Very abstract and actually requires thought.
