"Schools like to say that they create and spread knowledge. It would
be closer to the truth to say that they collect and hoard knowledge,
corner the market on it if they can, so that they can sell it at the
highest possible price. That's why they want everyone to believe
that only what is learned in school is worth anything. But this
idea, as much as any other, freezes the class structure of society
and locks the poor into poverty." John Holt, "Teach Your Own" p.70
