“Restoring prayer ... will scarcely at this date solve the grievous public school problem. Public schools are expensive and massive centers for cultural and ideological brainwashing, at which they are unfortunately far more effective than in teaching the 3 R's or in keeping simple order within the schools. Any plan to begin dismantling the public school monstrosity is met with effective opposition by the teachers' and educators' unions. Truly radical change is needed to shift education from public to unregulated private schooling, religious and secular, as well as home schooling by parents.” WellsProblemHomeSchoolOrderParentReligiousPrayerSimpleEducationTeacherPlansTeachingNeededMetsUnionsSolveRadicalExpensiveOppositionMassiveSecularPublic SchoolIdeologicalSchoolingEducatorRestoringBrainwashingPrivate SchoolMonstrosityRadical Change Author:Murray Rothbard

“Our schools offer no conception of the scientific process of discovery. They do not encourage creative thought, in fact, they stifle it through too much rigidity in teaching. If we set out to give as little help as possible to originality in science, we could hardly devise a better plan than our education system. Youngsters ought to be told what is unknown about ourselves and our universe as well as what is known.” IfsGivingWellsLittlesFactsHelpingSchoolUniverseProcessKnownCreativeToo MuchPlansTeachingIgnoranceOughtOffersDiscoveryConceptionOriginalityEducation SystemYoungstersRigidityCreative ThoughtLittle Help Author:William Lipscomb
“To draw does not simply mean to reproduce contours; the drawing does not simply consist in the idea: the drawing is even the expression, the interior form, the plan, the model. Look what remains after that! The drawing is three fourths and a half of what constitutes painting.

“Once your kid reaches middle school, parents are really supposed to fade out of the social picture.

“Fate often allows a future to take shape with no regard for our expectation, plan, or readiness.

“School is established, not in order that it should be convenient for the children to study, but that teachers should be able to teach in comfort.
