Education has become an A institution-of the worst kind School ls A Prison And Damages Our Kids PARENTS SEND THEIR CHEL DREN to school with the best of intentions, believing that formal education is what kids need to become producthe happy adults. Many parents do have qualms about how well schools are performing, but the conventional wisdom is that these issues can be resolved with more money, better teachers, motre challenging curricula, or more rigorous what if the real problem is school itself tests. But onobeartheate gallopingtormaunt breastmilkonthe "Children are required to be in school, where their freedom is. greatly restricted, far more than most adults would tolerate in their workplaces. In recent decades we've been compelling them to spend ever more time in this kind of setting, and there's strong evidence that this is causing psychological damage to many of them. And as scientists have investigated how children naturally learn, they've realized that kids do so most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, in conditions that are almost opposite to those of school... Most people assume that the basic design of today's schools emerged from scientific evidence about how children learn. But nothing could be further from the truth. Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not research. Research has shown that people of all ages learn best when they are self-motivated, pursuing answers to questions that reflect their personal interests and achieving goals that they've set for themselves. Under such conditions, learning is usually joyful. The evidence for all of this is obvious to anyone who's watched a child grow from infancy to school age. Through their own efforts, children figure out how to walk, run, jump, and climb. They learn from scratch their native language, and with that, they learn to assert their will, argue, amuse, annoy, befriend, charm, and ask questions They do all of this before anyone, in any systematic way tries to teach them anything This amazing drive and capacity to learn does not turn itself off when children reach five or six. But we turn it off with our coercive system of schooling. Thank "and there's strong evidence that this is causing psychological damage to many of them." real giad we're just learning this now information that shocks literally no one who's under 30

The fact that I have gone through 4 years of foreign language course (both Spanish and French) in both a highschool and college setting, yet I still can't speak anything other than English…..despite the fact that I got all freakin' A's, tell me that yeah….something might be wrong with the system.
