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.

Anyone who is more interested in human beings than in the rules is a threat to the system.

I urge you to examine in your own mind the assumptions which must lay behind using the police power to insist that once-sovereign spirits have no choice but to submit to being schooled by strangers.

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

Nobody gives you an education. If you want one, you have to take it.

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