Caused a lot of trauma to a lot of kids due to the behaviour of the teachers. LFHS as a conformist missionary institution is more focused on instilling rigid discipline and adherence to prescribed norms than fostering individuality and creative thinking.

Rather than encouraging students to develop independent thought and confidence in their abilities, the school's approach often leans towards shaping them into obedient followers, discouraging divergent views and original ideas. This method, deeply rooted in tradition and conformity, can stifle the natural curiosity and potential of young minds, turning them into mental slaves who prioritize compliance over critical thinking and personal growth.

It epitomizes a conformist, missionary-driven approach to education that prioritizes obedience over critical thinking and individuality. Rather than cultivating independent thought, curiosity, and self-confidence, the school seems more focused on shaping students into unquestioning followers, thus undermining the development of original ideas. Such an educational framework tends to produce students who excel in rote learning and conformity but struggle to think critically or challenge established norms.

The teacher-to-student ratio of 1:60 significantly hampers personalized attention, making meaningful engagement in the classroom almost impossible. In ideal settings, a ratio of 1:20 is necessary to ensure that students receive the focus and instruction they deserve. Moreover, the school’s environment appears to breed favoritism, particularly among children from business-oriented families in the Old City, who, accustomed to exploiting their social status, engage in sycophantic behaviors towards teachers in exchange for preferential treatment.

The institutional culture also reflects a troubling dynamic, where teachers often demonstrate a subservient attitude towards the principal, who, along with other leaders from the Montfort Brothers, exerts undue influence over the educational process. In some cases, students are even encouraged—if not compelled—to offer gifts to the principal, further entrenching a system of corruption and favoritism that benefits a select few, particularly those from affluent business families.

The religious overtones of the institution are another point of contention. With a daily routine that begins with the Lord's Prayer, the school fosters a particular religious ethos that may alienate students from diverse backgrounds. While religious education can have its place, a truly neutral institution should prioritize intellectual inquiry over sectarian beliefs, fostering an environment where diverse viewpoints are respected and critical thinking is encouraged.

Ultimately, Little Flower High School, along with its sister institutions under the Montfort Brothers, functions more as a factory for molding compliant minds than as a nurturing ground for free thought. Such an approach fails to inspire students to question the status quo or explore the world with open, inquisitive minds. Educational institutions should be sanctuaries of intellectual freedom, where curiosity is celebrated and students are encouraged to challenge, rather than simply conform to, prevailing ideologies.

Little Flower High School (LFHS), like many missionary-run institutions, prides itself on discipline and tradition, but in reality it functions as a factory of conformity. The obsession with rigid order and prescribed norms comes at the cost of individuality, creativity, and intellectual freedom. Instead of nurturing independent thinkers, the school seems intent on producing obedient followers—students conditioned to fear authority rather than question it. The natural curiosity of children is stifled, leaving them more adept at rote memorization than at genuine understanding or original thought.

The sheer imbalance of the teacher-to-student ratio—an astonishing 1:60—makes real education nearly impossible. Students become faceless numbers, denied the attention and guidance they deserve. In such a suffocating setup, favoritism fills the void. Children from wealthy, business-oriented families in the Old City thrive by pandering to teachers, exploiting status and sycophancy to secure advantages. Merit takes a backseat while servility is rewarded.

This culture of subservience trickles upward as well. Teachers themselves often display unquestioning obedience to the principal, who wields disproportionate influence with the backing of the Montfort Brothers. Reports of students being encouraged—or quietly compelled—to offer gifts to the principal expose the corruption underlying this hierarchy. It is a system designed to benefit the few, while the majority are left disillusioned and voiceless.

Then there is the religious undertone, which cannot be ignored. A school day that begins with the Lord’s Prayer sets the tone for an institution that prioritizes sectarian ethos over inclusivity. For students from diverse religious or non-religious backgrounds, such practices can feel less like education and more like indoctrination. The subtle but constant message is clear: obedience to faith and authority matters more than freedom of thought.

What emerges is not an institution of learning, but one of mental conditioning. LFHS, and others like it, do not create bold, questioning individuals prepared to challenge injustice or innovate in society. They create conformists—well-drilled in compliance, cautious of dissent, and uncomfortable with true freedom. In a world that desperately needs critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers, such an approach is not just outdated; it is dangerous.
