I titled this topic “schools” rather than education. The two, as practiced in our society, are very different – and have quite different objectives – opposing objectives even. The only seed I wish to plant is to open our top-down, government-dominated, so-called “education system” to question. To open your mind for an honest appraisal of it.
Please, I implore, make up your own mind. Trust yourself that far. But do so with information from both sides of the argument. For nearly all of every American’s life, you have had one side of the discussion – a one-sided discussion is not a discussion at all. Openly accept input from the other side.
This is one of the most important topics for any society. Do not neglect it.
