“The “teaching” that supposedly goes on in schools is a broken remnant of preparation for an economy that no longer exists. We’re no longer a society of people who do things, but rather a society of people to whom things are done, many of them harmful, humiliating, and arbitrary. America’s demoralized teaching corps is so unhinged by their own anomie that they resort to imposing sadistic fantasies on the children in their charge.” ~ James Howard Kunstler [Childhoods End]
“Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore
