School Is A Twelve-year Jail Sentence Where

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.

Whatever An Education Is, It Should Make You A Unique Individual, Not A Conformist; It Should Furnish You With An Original Spirit With Which To Tackle The Big Challenges. It Should Allow You To Find Values Which Will Be Your Road Map Through Life; It Should Make You Spiritually Rich, A Person Who Loves Whatever You Are Doing, Wherever You Are, Whomever You Are With; It Should Teach You What Is Important, How To Live And How To Die.

One Of The First Things A Family Tries To Teach Its Children Is The Difference Between Good And Evil, Right And Wrong. One Of The First Things Our Schools Do Is Destroy That Distinction.

School Is The First Impression Children Get Of Organized Society. Like Most First Impressions It Is The Lasting One. Life Is Dull And Stupid, Only Coke Provides Relief. And Other Products, Too, Of Course.

The Old System Where Every Child Was Locked Away And Set Into Nonstop, Daily Cut Throat Competition With Every Other Child For Silly Prizes Called Grades Is Broken Beyond Repair. If It Could Be Fixed It Could Have Been Fixed By Now. Good Riddance.
