EVERYONE LIKES TURTLES!!!!!

Yeah. As an educator as well, I learned about this thing called individualized instruction. Students learn at different levels and some learn faster and come to school with more knowledge. Teachers do not use enough scaffolding and student interest to plan their lessons so children learn to hate school. It was a sad day when my 5 year old came home from kindergarten and said he hated school and never wanted to go back because he was bored. He was bored of doing 900 math worksheets in school this year (he did, I have them all). He was bored of having to read at the level he was when he was 2.5 and he was bored because he never got to move or do any learning that was not taught to the whole group.

You are imposing your westernized views on a group of religions and tribal belief systems that we have lumped together and called "Buddhist." Just as many people would not consider "amaZioni" to be a Christian religion, many people who identify with the Buddhist religion hold views that different from the main stream understanding of Buddhism.
