The first couple of paragraphs:

"THERE'S no such thing as public education. Education happens to exactly one
person at a time.

There are some things that you just have to do by yourself. Even if I'm your
teacher, you can't have my education; your education is a private task that
is given to yourself.

The education of someone or everyone else doesn't add a single item to your
stock of knowledge.

And there's no such thing as compulsory education. Education is something
that each of us gives to ourselves or allows others to give us. Otherwise we
call it indoctrination or assault; we don't call it knowledge."
