Great article.

I was subjected to government schools for a good portion of my life, and never learned a thing.

I self-taught, since I learned to read, at age 3. The only thing I really learned in school is that if you are smarter than both the students and the teacher, you will be ostracized.

I built my first transistor radio at six. Read the entire World Book Encyclopedia by twelve.

Government schools did absolutely nothing for me.

They require deprogramming for bright kids.

Thanks very much! : )

Since you're obviously someone who likes to learn, have you ever read about the real history of public education? John Taylor Gatto has published a number of very informative articles, and if you find time to read them, you'll tell yourself "SO THAT'S WHY SCHOOLS OPERATE THAT WAY!"
