1. The department of education is the most successful government program ever created.

   It has far surpassed the initial goals that were set for it.

   Just spend a few minutes looking up quotes on public or compulsory education and see if you can prove me wrong.

   “I’ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my thirty years of teaching: schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions. Although teachers to care and do work very, very hard, the institution is psychopathic — it has no conscience. It rings a bell and the young man in the middle of writing a poem must close his notebook and move to a different cell where he must memorize that humans and monkeys derive from a common ancestor.”

   “[Homeschooling]…recipe for genius: More of family and less of school, more of parents and less of peers, more creative freedom and less formal lessons.”
   Raymond S. Moore, School Can Wait

   I make presentations at historical sites as a period interpreter, and I can spot homeschooled children in less than a minute.
