Perspectives

The material expressed within the links below may contain “anti-school” rhetoric some of which I agree with and some of which I do not. Three of my dearest girlfriends are schoolteachers and are extremely talented at their chosen profession: these articles are referring to the establishment itself, not to the teachers working within the institution. The reason we are Life Learners is for the freedom and the lifestyle. We aren’t “anti-school”, yet it is widely known that their are some inherent flaws with schools, which are addressed below.
