The War Between Schooling and Education
Education has taken on contradictory meanings. Some of us reject using the term to refer to our schools. It can be stated that our schools are at war with education. This blog was initially developed for the purpose of sharing some quick (rather than conclusive) pro-education/anti-schooling thoughts. This has been expanded to include a voice from the other side of the war. Admittedly, this voice was picked for its tendency to show the absurdities of the pro-schooling/anti-educational side.

Misconception #180: "Public" schools support due process
Over the years, I have been writing about misconceptions regarding the schooling process. The purpose of these posts is to explain why I disagree with various comments that I have heard people make about schooling. These are meant as personal thoughts rather than conclusive proof, and I will admit that I'm not always the best at explaining my thoughts. Regardless, I have decided that I should be willing to share these posts when I encounter someone online who makes an argument that I have already discussed.

The consequences of not firing teachers
As much as I hate repeating myself, I'm going to have to do it. My biggest issue with Donald Trump is that he takes what I hate about the Democrats and brings it to the Republican party. Republicans are crossing lines regarding freedom of speech that has Democrats suddenly supporting the idea. Keep in mind that Democrats have openly supported criminalizing speech that makes them uncomfortable.
