The <b>Alliance for the Separation for School and State"</b> is an awesome organization. John Taylor Gatto in his book <i>The Underground History of American Education</i> said public school education takes away a children's self-reliance and ingenuity. I think what he says is spot on. Public schooling turns out unthinking corporate employees ("cogs-in-a-machine") who are reliant on others ("the state") and obedient to others ("the corporations"). The public schools suffocation of ingenuity happens in many ways. One example is how teachers order students to do unimaginative busy-work: homework. They even grade students on this mindless task: as if homework has <i>any</i> relation to a persons talents! And the teacher destroys self-reliance by teaching the notion that people should defer problems to government to solve, rather than placing emphasis on self-responsibility and entrepreneurship. "The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools,"-Herbert Spencer. Great blog!
