There Isn't A Right Way To Become

I Don’t Think We’ll Get Rid Of Schools Any Time Soon, Certainly Not In My Lifetime, But If We’re Going To Change What’s Rapidly Becoming A Disaster Of Ignorance, We Need To Realize That The Institution “schools” Very Well, But It Does Not “educate”; That’s Inherent In The Design Of The Thing. It’s Not The Fault Of Bad Teachers Or Too Little Money Spent. It’s Just Impossible For Education And Schooling To Be The Same Thing.

Children Do Not Learn In School; They Are Babysat. It Takes Maybe 50 Hours To Teach Reading, Writing, And Arithmetic. After That, Students Can Teach Themselves. Mainly What School Does Is To Keep The Children Off The Streets And Out Of The Job Market.

Curiosity Has No Important Place In My Work, Only Conformity.

What's Gotten In The Way Of Education In The United States Is A Theory Of Social Engineering That Says There Is One Right Way To Proceed With Growing Up.

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.
