Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not of research into how children learn. The blueprint still used for today’s schools was developed during the Protestant Reformation, when schools were created to teach children to read the Bible, to believe scripture without questioning it, and to obey authority figures without questioning them.
School is a prison — and damaging our kids - Salon.com. Total, absolute garbage. Made-up nonsense on stilts. When a writer makes with such absolute confidence a statement this comprehensively ignorant, just stop reading. You can’t trust anything else they say.
