Government Schooling Is The Most Radical Adventure In History. It Kills The Family By Monopolizing The Best Times Of Childhood And By Teaching Disrespect For Home And Parents.

The Primary Goal Of Real Education Is Not To Deliver Facts But To Guide Students To The Truths That Will Allow Them To Take Responsibility For Their Lives.

School Presents Daily Exercises In Dis-association. It Forces Unwelcome Associations On Most Of Its Prisoners. It Sets Petty, Meaningless Competitions In Motion On A Daily Basis, Pitting Potential Associates Against One Another In Contests For Praise And Other Worthless Prizes.

I've Noticed A Fascinating Phenomenon In My Twenty-five Years Of Teaching - That Schools And Schooling Are Increasingly Irrelevant To The Great Enterprises Of The Planet. No One Believes Anymore That Scientists Are Trained In Science Classes Or Politicians In Civics Classes Or Poets In English Classes. The Truth Is That Schools Don't Really Teach Anything Except How To Obey Orders.

Slowly I Began To Realize That The Bells And The Confinement, The Crazy Sequences, The Age-segregation, The Lack Of Privacy, The Constant Surveillance, And All The Rest Of The National Curriculum Of Schooling Were Designed Exactly As If Someone Had Set Out To Prevent Children From Learning How To Think And Act, To Coax Them Into Addiction And Dependent Behavior.
