It is clearly absurd to limit the term 'education' to a person's formal schooling. - Murray RothbardIt took a while for my brain to slow down the first year of not going to public school. My head was still swimming from the horrors of the earth and the burden to deal with them and "save the world." Environmentalism, disease, slavery, holocaust, cancer, anti-drug/violence campaigns, presidential campaigns, eating disorders and maniacal cops coming in to scare us straight. This was just before school shootings were highly publicized.
Did anything good ever happen in history? Was there ever anything to get
happy about? Oh yeah, the teachers got excited with the cloned sheep
called Dolly and we were temporarily excited by the Macarena. Then there
were the deadlines, the heavy books, peer pressure, following the
rules, harsh punishments laced with shame, worrying about clothes,
popularity and judgement from teachers and students. There were a lot of
troubled students.
