I completely agree, and if I would have read this when I was 5 years old, I probably would have agreed then, too.
I have unschooled my kids since 2004, and write about it here and elsewhere. I myself dropped out of highschool because I found it so banal and anti-life.
Glad to see more people are noticing that schools are designed to produce compliant and obedient products--NOT a truly educated populace!
