They are pretty much combined, what counts is "molding" the student
such that satisfying and marketable skills, attitudes, and views are educated and
indoctrinated into the student. IMO any differences deal with the
permanence and source of whatever is learned. If from "nature",
it is education, if from "culture", it is indoctrination. Both are
necessary.

Education is providing information. Indoctrination is 'pushing'
information, to satisfy the motivation of the provider.

Of course, the indoctrinator always meets the indoctrinatee. Mutual
sense of purpose.

"Indoctrination is the process of inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive
strategies or a professional methodology. It is often distinguished from
education by the fact that the indoctrinated person is expected ****not****
to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned."

Yes, the point of education is to encourage questioning things. I
would suggest that the difference is primarily in the *process*; in
simplistic terms one is giving answers and the other is asking
questions.

Education usually demands the exclusion of all things outside of the
specific subject matter. This is where indoctrination begins, I think.

Interesting point on the 'question', as the means by which to
determine this difference between Education and Indoctrination.

And yet for all that, at the poorest end of the education spectrum,
there isn't the time or the means to allow a true exploration of
the question.

Isn't "culture" from "nature"?

Please provide examples of each to illustrate your point.
