  • It's all about love and being a human being with integrity that feels they belong - it's all anybody wants. This documentary is a blessing.

  • Mass schooling DOES exactly what it was designed to do. And it does it VERY WELL. Here is a few points, not in order necessarily.

    1) kill the natural love of learning; compare a toddler to a school kid

    2) break kids into accepting authority from people they don't know or respect

    3) mold them into believing their self-worth comes from outside, teachers, exams,..

    Most importantly: stopping kids from thinking.

    We serve the elite.

  • I really liked the last question - and everyone's answer. Thank you for sharing this.

  • Good discussion. It's tricky finding just the right amount to push our kids without underdoing it or overdoing it. It's good to have the discussion.

  • Thanks to all those who spoke. At home now we are trying to change and stress learning the material and understanding the concepts instead of pushing for grades.
