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

Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist.

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

...good things happen to the human spirit when it is left alone.

It only takes about 50 contact hours to transmit basic literacy and math skills well enough that kids can be self-teachers from then on. The cry for 'basic skills' practice is a smokescreen behind which schools pre-empt the time of children for twelve years and teach them the six lessons I've just taught you.

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 economy schoolchildren currently expect to live under and serve would not survive a generation of young people trained to think critically.
