School

I am going to have a lot to say about school in this blog. After all, I've spent a good deal of my life in school as a student, teacher and professor. Obviously, I've read and thought a good deal about this. Most of what I have to say will be negative because most of my experience has been negative.

For now let me quote one of the great thinkers ever, Ivan Illich: "School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is." - Deschooling Society.

The truth is, you don't.
