“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
“Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father.

“If a teacher told me to revise, I thought that meant my writing was a broken-down car that needed to go to the repair shop. I felt insulted. I didn't realize the teacher was saying, 'Make it shine.

“One of the skills of a journalist, though, is to find people who can teach him what he needs to know.
