A John Holt quote

-=- I'm afraid that plain truth is that most Americans don't really like
children . . . even their own! Adults don't trust youngsters, and school is an
institutionalized expression of that fact. To put it another way, one of the
foundation stones on which schools rest is a great big rock that says
children are mostly no damn good.-=-

(I'll put it at unschooling.info too, Pam.)
