I had encountered multiple problems in fifth grade that absolutely screamed to me. I remember heading off to a program that our elementary school provided for more advanced students. When I returned to my normal class, I found out that we had work assigned that had to be completed in five minutes. For the rest of the class, it was a thirty-minute assignment. Initially, I felt overwhelmed. When I finished with time to spare, I wondered why my teacher gave everyone so much time. I really started to wonder about the inefficiencies of the schooling process.
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.
