En Cuba, cuando vas a la escuela, te meten en el cerebro vas a la escuela,
I bought this program "SmartSpanish CD-Rom" with real native spanish speakers. In one of the interviews Yeni Alvarez says: En Cuba, cuando vas a la escuela, te meten en el cerebro vas a la escuela,
My question is: I believe that "te meten" in this sentence is a reflexive verb meterse. So why is this conjugated with "te" when the verb is "meten"? Should the conjugation be "se meten" or "te metes".
I realize in real life not everyone talks correctly all the time, even I don't speak correctly all the time. Am I correct in the way I conjugated this verb?
Edit: please do not post comercial sites.

HI Wlter, welcome to the site
te meten en el cerebro vas a la escuela,
they put into your head....
If we had to analize this:
Ellos meten esto en la cabeza a ti.
Te = a ti = indirect object
Maybe you misheard her?
