Schools were designed by Horace Mann and Barnard Sears and Harper of the University of Chicago and Thorndyke of Columbia Teachers College and some other men to be instruments of the scientific management of a mass population. Schools are intended to produce through the application of formulae, formulaic human beings whose behavior can be predicted and controlled.

Individuality, family, and community are, by definition, expressions of singular organization, never of "one-right-way" thinking on the grand scale. Children and families need some relief from government surveillance and intimidation if original expressions belonging to THEM are to develop. Without these freedom has no meaning.

The primary goal of real education is not to deliver facts but to guide students to the truths that will allow them to take responsibility for their lives.

When you take the free will out of education, that turns it into schooling.

You need experience, adventure, and explorations more than you need algebra!

Why are you so docile when you give up your child to a government agent called a schoolteacher?

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