Teaching Is A Function, Not A Profession.

We Have Been Taught (that Is, Schooled) In This Country To Think Of 'success' As Synonymous With, Or At Least Dependent Upon, 'schooling,' But Historically That Isn’t True In Either An Intellectual Or A Financial Sense. And Plenty Of People Throughout The World Today Find A Way To Educate Themselves Without Resorting To A System Of Compulsory Secondary Schools That All Too Often Resemble Prison.

This Was Once A Land Where Every Sane Person Knew How To Build A Shelter, Grow Food, And Entertain One Another. Now We Have Been Rendered Permanent Children. It’s The Architects Of Forced Schooling Who Are Responsible For That.

Schools [are]...institutions Monopolizing The Daytimes Of Childhood.

Do We Really Need School? I Don't Mean Education, Just Forced Schooling: Six Classes A Day, Five Days A Week, Nine Months A Year, For Twelve Years. Is This Deadly Routine Really Necessary? And If So, For What? Don't Hide Behind Reading, Writing, And Arithmetic As A Rationale, Because 2 Million Happy Homeschoolers Have Surely Put That Banal Justification To Rest.

I Taught Public School For 26 Years, But I Just Can't Do It Anymore. For Years I Asked The School Board To Let Me Teach A Curriculum That Doesn't Hurt Kids, But They Always Had Other Fish To Fry. If You Hear Of A Job Where I Don't Have To Hurt Kids To Make A Living, Let Me Know. The Truth Is That Schools Don't Really Teach Anything, But Blind Obedience.
