I have been doing A LOT of reading lately. I'm currently engrosed
in, "Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow: Discovering Your Right
Livelihood," by Marsha Sinetar. Obviously, maybe, I wasn't reading
this necessarily in the frame of mind relating to unschooling. So, I
was pleasantly surprised when I came across this quote:
"I think it was a terrific blessing that I had no schooling. What
happens to kids when they go to school? All those years under that
system, they lose their way once they go there. The one thing I kept
hold of was my individuality. I'm an individual if there ever was
one. There are many people like me...but there is no other me."
I thought this worth sharing and definately think the book worth
reading, if you are interested.

school (especially high school) robs kids of their identities and leaves them emotionally

interests, work harder, talk more in class and are more interested in life. "A" students are
afraid to take risks and only learn to store information in their short term memories. Often
they have no idea what they want to do after college, can't identify interests and end up in
lower paying jobs.
