In the way he should not go

Via FreedomSight and Ninth Stage:

Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been found that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery. — Benjamin Disraeli

Or, as another wise man once said:

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. –Proverbs 22:6

Unfortunately, if you train up a child in the way he should not go, he will not depart from it, either.
