I've always been interested in the idea of actualy reversing education within an otherwise apparently academic enviroment. Also, instead of encouraging independent thought and building character, as one might expect within such an environment, creating the complete opposite effect: Stifling individuality, discouraging independent thought and encouraging psychological dependency within a culture and regime designed to constantly batter self-confidence. I imagine a small residental experimental group. They've no idea of the aims of the study, perhaps originaly set up for a month or so or even just a couple weeks but then they find themselves put into school uniform, discipline becoming stricter and stricter and discover leaving isn't easy - or even possible - and as weeks turn into months and perhaps a year passes by they become less and less able to fight back in any way, time has become meaningless without clocks, radios, television or any contact whatsoever with the outside world. I just love the irony that their de-educators keep them in very strict school uniforms and them spending their days seated in a classroom
