When you are considered to be intelligent and hear about how important schooling is to the learning process, the thought of going to school can be a dream come true. This is how I entered school. The problem was that I was actually mentally weak.
The schools were designed for morons. It’s not intellect that gets you ahead in schools. It’s the appearance of intellect. This is a trap, and I fell for it. I believed that I was thinking for myself. In reality, I was mindlessly accepting what I was told. Like all good students, I had no mind of my own. Eventually, I learned my lesson. I taught myself to think, and I watched my grades plummet.
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.
