The kids have learned it, but it’s actually a detriment to teaching, since they waste lots of time asking questions. And I don’t mean important questions, I mean each child believes they have the right to be individually told every detail of why they have to do anything. That works fine for one or two kids at a time. It’s not so fine when you have 28.

My opinion of modern education is even lower than my opinion of the police. The "educational" system that requires 28 children to be locked in a room all day is the problem. Schools as we know them are, like the police, a 19th Century anachronism, and should be done away with.
