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 sitesmile

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
