School Sucks Project self-knowledge, self-education, self-mastery
(Part 1 of 2)
For the last two months, I have been working primarily with younger kids (ages 6-10). While comparing and contrasting these recent experiences to my work with high school students, I gained a fresh perspective on this whole "school sucks" idea.
Discussed:
-Domination Systems
-Crushing...courage, imagination, ambition, individuality
-NCLB
-Bureaucratic inertia in the tutoring business
