That’s pretty much what the schools are like, I think: they reward discipline and obedience, and they punish independence of mind. If you happen to be a little innovative, or maybe you forgot to come to school one day because you were reading a book or something, that’s a tragedy, that’s a crime - because you’re not supposed to think, you’re supposed to obey, and just proceed through the material in whatever way they require.

Hahaha, I think I’ll print out this Noam Chomsky quote and staple it to my first-grader’s next Behavior Report. (You know, because he gets bored sitting there after the work is done, and wants to draw or talk or hear a story.) — Via cultureofresistance.
