In this video we examine how public schools and the mainstream media have contributed to the growth of a passive citizenry, thus paving the way for the rise of tyranny. We then look at the role anti-authoritarians play in a free and flourishing society.

School kills your desire to learn. After being at a distance from it for some time, I began to strongly want to start learning all kinds of new things. It's a nightmare that they do this to people.

The greatest teaching is not telling people WHAT to think...but HOW to think

I wasn't interested in learning until I got out of school.

"Self education, is the best education." Words I tell my sons every year.

As a homeschool kid who has grown into an adult
I am begging parents PLEASE school your own children. It is the best thing you could do for them. And i don't care if you think you are not qualified not only are you perfectly qualified but there are so so many affordable resources and so many people willing to help.

Controlled Obedience. Here's a quote by Mark Twain." I never let school get in the way of my education."

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. It's a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."
-Albert Einstein

I used to be the quiet kid, and was proud of it. But as an adult, I realized that being the obedient one for them meant I had no opinions of my own and finally woke up to how they just wanted an easier job. I believed that being obedient was good, because all adults want easy kids and teenagers. I was brainwashed by all adults to be submissive. I was so gullible. I should have been led to enjoy learning and to be confident.

All of this was wrong: walking in line, telling us to be quiet, forcing us to stay in our seats until a bell rings (they don't even say that class is over, they've resorted to a planned noise), no clock in the room and no cell phones allowed, making us ask and wait to go to the bathroom, uncomfortable seats, hanging grades over our heads like treats (and now you can't make any mistakes or you lose that precious A), group punishments, always giving punishment for being difficult for them (never mind any differences from the factory model of human), giving no room for how we best individually learn, zero choice in what we learn, using memorization instead of how it all connects, textbooks that are a list of definitions that don't connect, penalizing lateness or taking a day off (because you will need this in the future, so hmm, lets do it now too), weak teachers not being penalized for a whole class that's confused, teachers not caring that other teachers are giving homework or textbooks to carry around, having homework when we were at school for so many hours already, short gym shorts but no shorts that you brought in can be short, not allowed to defend yourself from a bully but the teacher won't help either, teachers reading powerpoints, word counts instead of concise explanation, scantrons that subtract test time so the teacher saves time, no late work because we must be perfect and obedient with our learning, test corrections where you must teach yourself what you did wrong while being graded this second time on the same mistakes, group work where everyone is expected to do equally split up work instead of teamwork, and whatever else.

The purpose of school is to get you used to waking up and doing something you don’t wanna do for 8 hours a day. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire

[pointbreak]

I've always felt this way about school. Getting good grades just means you're winning the system.

[tomparker]

While in my freshman year of college, I had a friend (an alumnus of my college) tell me, "Don't let college interfere with your real education." That advice turned out to be more life changing than I realized at the time.

Its easy to fool people.
Its convincing them they've been fooled is the real challenge.

One of the hardest things about school is even in times where you have immense creativity and a want for learning, school drains all of that out of you by forcing you to memorize information and not really learn it

[zodarian]

I will not obey, I will not submit, I will not comply.
