I was talking with a friend yesterday who once talked about homeschooling his kids. He decided not to homeschool because his kids are now getting some A's and B's. He is incorrectly assuming his kids are getting a good education because they get A's and B's.

I definitely recommend folks read The Underground History of American Education, by John Taylor Gatto. The back cover states:

[It] will take you on a journey into the background, philosophy, psychology, politics, and purposes of compulsion schooling. The most important book about schools you will ever read. It will open your eyes.

That last sentence is very true. It's an eye opener!

Great read.
