Some great thoughts for homeschoolers.

Homeschooling in Action

The agenda of public schooling has been, for the entire twentieth century, to remove the power of people to think for themselves. A full analysis is impossible here; but you need to realize that because of the systemic, heirarchical nature of schooling, your local teachers, principals, superintendents, and the like have almost no say in this - they are pedagogues, which means practically that they administer routines made elsewhere far away.
-John Taylor Gatto, in "The Homeschooling Book of Answers"

I hate quotations.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Homeschooling in Action

We destroy the love of learning in children, which is so strong when they are small, by encouraging and compelling them to work for petty rewards--gold stars, or papers marked 100 and tacked to the wall, or A's on report cards, or honor rolls, or dean's lists or Phi Beta Kappa keys--in short, for the ignoble satisfaction of feeling that they are better than someone else.
-John Holt
