Quote by Viv Albertine

“The Woodcraft Folk is a youth organisation, a bit like Brownies or Scouts but it mixes boys and girls together and has an arty, bohemian vibe. [...] We call the adults in charge ‘leaders’ and address them by their Christian names – this is the first time I'm allowed to call an adult by their first name. At Woodcraft children are treated like people, not half-formed irrelevant creatures, we are consulted on every decision that's made.”

“There has been no greater tool to facilitate this weakening of the parent’s authority than the school system. This has gotten so sinister that advocates of the education system have been pushing for children to attend school from younger ages. This is presented as a benefit to the parents as they can now have time to work, and the child is learning from a young age.”

“The first 8 years of a child's life are crucial for their development. During this time, the experiences they have and the things they are exposed to play a significant role in shaping their identity and have a long-term impact on their brain. For those who seek to shape children for their own gain, it is crucial that they isolate them as early as possible from the parents.”

A handful of these young, brave and zealous teachers in every nation, shall be enough to rekindle the spark of pure knowledge in the entire species.”

“Un très vieil ami de mon père, sorti premier de l'École normale, avait dû à cet exploit de débuter dans un quartier de Marseille : quartier pouilleux, peuplé de misérables où nul n'osait se hasarder la nuit. Il y resta de ses débuts à sa retraite, quarante ans dans la même classe, quarante ans sur la même chaise. Et comme un soir mon père lui disait : « Tu n'as donc jamais eu d'ambition ? - Oh mais si ! dit-il, j'en ai eu ! Et je crois que j'ai bien réussi ! Pense qu'en vingt ans, mon prédécesseur a vu guillotiner six de ses élèves. Moi, en quarante ans, je n'en ai eu que deux, et un gracié de justesse. Ça valait la peine de rester là. »”
