No ties required - shoes optional.

From Wikipedia:

"Non-formal education became part of the international discourse on education policy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It can be seen as related to the concepts of recurrent and lifelong learning. Tight (1996: 68) suggests that whereas the latter concepts have to do with the extension of education and learning throughout life, non-formal education is about ‘acknowledging the importance of education, learning and training which takes place outside recognized educational institutions’. Fordham (1993) suggests that in the 1970s, four characteristics came be associated with non-formal education:"

"Relevance to the needs of disadvantaged groups. Concern with specific categories of person. A focus on clearly defined purposes. Flexibility in organization and methods."

In other words, whatever form of authoritarian indoctrination the Left Wing chooses to inflict on your children.
