To school or not to school

I believe strongly that schools are not places where learning, and more importantly the-love-of-learning happens. They are places, not where children’s questions get answered, but where questions in which the children seldom are interested in, are asked. Free thinking and questioning are not encouraged but frowned upon, and conformity is forced. Different attitudes and approaches to learning is not very often entertained, but the draconian rule of a know-all infallible teacher preaching decided truths still reigns supreme.

I will not school my child. I will not let a system that is there to produce millions of copies of unthinking consumers, break my inquisitive and happy child.
