The Premise Upon Which Mass Compulsion Schooling

School Is About Learning To Wait Your Turn, However Long It Takes To Come, If Ever. And How To Submit With A Show Of Enthusiasm To The Judgment Of Strangers, Even If They Are Wrong, Even If Your Enthusiasm Is Phony.

It Was Never Factually True That Young People Learn To Read Or Do Arithmetic Primarily By Being Taught These Things. These Things Are Learned, But Not Really Taught At All. Over-teaching Interferes With Learning, Although The Few Who Survive It May Well Come To Imagine It Was By An Act Of Teaching.

Individuality, Family, And Community Are, By Definition, Expressions Of Singular Organization, Never Of "one-right-way" Thinking On The Grand Scale. Children And Families Need Some Relief From Government Surveillance And Intimidation If Original Expressions Belonging To Them Are To Develop. Without These Freedom Has No Meaning.

Schools Stifle Family Originality By Appropriating The Critical Time Needed For Any Sound Idea Of Family To Develop - Then They Blame The Family For Its Failure To Be A Family.
