After 13+ years of compulsory schooling, we become programmed to operate in a certain way following such a rigid structure. It can be extremely difficult to free our mindsets and open ourselves up to change. This is why so many people change careers in their 30-40’s as they finally come to the realization that what they have been doing their whole lives is not making them happy. Are you a hostage to your beliefs?
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” ~ George Eliot
“Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.” ~ John Greenleaf Whittier, Maud Muller - Pamphlet
The government has a Monopoly on schooling, any choice is merely an Illusion . Schools Are The Problem, NOT The Solution!
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ~ Buckminster Fuller
“The secret of CHANGE is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” ~ Socrates (470 - 399 BC)
“If nothing changes, nothing changes. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re…
Schools are a breeding ground of bad habits
“The formation of habits is education, and education is the formation of habits.” ~ Charlotte M. Mason
“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” ~ John Dryden
“The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.” ~ Maria Edgeworth
“School is a twelve-year jail sentence where bad habits are the only curriculum truly learned. I teach school and win awards doing it. I should know.” ~ John Taylor Ga…
If you truly think about it, it likely has nothing to do with school. And even if it does, you may find that your life has a much greater purpose than what you’re doing at school or after graduation with a degree. As they say, school is a vacuum where everyone is forced to learn the same things at the same times and even at the same age, but that’s not how kids find their purpose in life. Since all kids are uniquely different, they each have their own individuality. Ask yourself whether The Purp…
Have you asked your kids if THEY actually want to go to school? OR if they would prefer to spend their time more wisely engaging in their own self-directed learning pursuing their passions.
"If children are being told WHAT to learn, WHEN and HOW to learn, 6 hours a day, 5 DAYS A WEEK - no wonder CREATIVE THINKING in children is plummeting, and ANXIETY & DEPRESSION is continuing to rise." ~ Kirsty Lee

Humans are either slaves to human nature or masters of human nature.
“Be a free thinker and don’t accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.” ~ Aristotle (384 - 322 BC)
“Schooling was influenced by the idea that self-directed learning created ‘dangerous,’ free-thinking, intelligent people who would make sure the government never became more powerful than the people.” ~ Laurie A. Couture
“Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds wit…
Our society has been dumbed down and indoctrinated to the point that most people actually believe everything they hear and assume that every critical thinker is a conspiracy theorist. Part of the problem is that people are so distracted with TV shows, movies, video games, media, sports, etc. People are so preoccupied with meaningless things that they never question or look into things.
The term “Conspiracy Theory” was coined by the CIA during the Kennedy Investigation and was designed to discre…
