== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The Massachusetts Academy, run by erstwhile Hellfire Club White Queen Emma Frost, in contrast to Xavier's school in ''[[X -Men]]'' comics.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Tom Browns Schooldays (Literature)|Tom Browns Schooldays]]'' is an early example.
* [[Mark Twain]] is known to have said (maybe in ''Life on the Mississippi'') "I have never let schooling interfere with my education."
* [[A Series of Unfortunate Events]] has the school in the fifth book, ''The Austere Academy''
Line 59:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The schools in the Fire Nation in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' are highly structured and don't permit much by way of self expression. Aang gets in trouble numerous times, especially for questioning Fire Nation propaganda he's being fed.
* There was this exchange in the first ''[[Kim Possible]]'' movie (''A Sitch in Time''):
{{quote| '''Ron Stoppable:''' 'Scuse me, scary orb thing? Where are you taking us?<br />
Line 66:
'''Robot:''' Prepare to be drained of all individuality and spirit.<br />
'''Ron:''' Yep, high school. }}
* ''[[Codename Kids Next Door (Animation)|Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' also subscribes to the theory that school kills creativity and is part of the Adult Conspiracy.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' really loves this trope.
** Springfield Elementary is frequently depicted like this, with "Independent Thought alarms" and such.
