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 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.

Education or educations?
Why don't I ever see anyone pluralizing education? I can understand treating this as a collective term for an individual's development. We can discuss all the things that comprise an individual's education as a singular education.

Legalize education
I have long discussed my desire to legalize education. When dealing with people who don't know me, I tend to hold back. The reason for this is that most people won't understand what I mean. Even though I am not a writer, it seems like writing an explanation can help. If I ever have people questioning me for pushing the legalization of education, it might be nice to be able to link to a posted explanation.
