Every public school in America should be a palace of a culture, learning and the arts. The fact that that seems to anyone like a pipe dream is a measure of how disconnected we are as a society from the values that should guide us.

Instead it's police officers, kevlar backpacks, metal detectors and active shooter drills.

It's just a prison of test preparation and social institutionalization.

The anemic state of our schools and their carefully channeled curricula, characterized by an absence of arts, a mistrust of dialectic, and blatantly propagandist subversions of history, was key to our decision to unschool. Not an easy choice or endeavor, but a brilliant one.

How about reading writing, and arithmetic? How about teaching them how to think rather than what to think. How about preparing our children for life in the real world?

Well put Marianne... you speak my mind

It's not about learning at all. It's about test scores. We like measurable things in the USA. You can't measure souls.
