Most teaching is presumptuous assuming that one person knows what
another SHOULD know, is violent because it violates another person,
clutters the mind with unabsorbed trivia; is uneconomical, wasteful,
and destructive of our greatest wealth – human potential and
creativity; is paternalistic – developing dependent rather than free
and free-thinking people and is destructive of the teacher's
potential as well as that of the student.

Coperthwaite is one of my favorite author/yurt builders. Here's a

Thanks, I did a search for him the other night got an education in Yurts.
What I didn't find was why he feels about public schools the way he does.
Any ideas?
