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.

In a home school, the kid does 95% of the work. But in a school system, since it's an indoctrination system, a teacher has to do 95% of the work.

You either learn your way towards writing your own script in life, or you unwittingly become an actor in someone else's script.

School presents daily exercises in dis-association. It forces unwelcome associations on most of its prisoners. It sets petty, meaningless competitions in motion on a daily basis, pitting potential associates against one another in contests for praise and other worthless prizes.

Who besides a degraded rabble would voluntarily present itself to be graded and classified like meat? No wonder school is compulsory.

Children allowed to take responsibility and given a serious part in the larger world are always superior to those merely permitted to play and be passive.

In our secular society, school has become the replacement for church, and like church it requires that its teachings must be taken on faith.
