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.

I dare you
I hate repeating myself, but I want to start this post with relevant issues that I have previously discussed. Have you heard about the racist history behind vouchers. After Brown v. Board of Education, some states pushed for vouchers as a way to avoid segregation.

Misconception #184: Public school teachers don't want interference from politicians
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.

Making my schools look good
Not too long ago, I wrote about why I don't like school choice advocates bringing up testing. Some of my issues can be connected to my personal experiences in the system. Perhaps I should elaborate a little on my personal experiences.
