Quote of the Day
Teaching means different things in different places, but seven lessons are universally taught from Harlem to Hollywood Hills. They constitute a national curriculum you pay for in more ways than you can imagine, so you might as well know what it is. 1. Confusion, 2. Class Position, 3. Indifference, 4. Emotional Dependency, 5. Intellectual Dependency, 6. Provisional Self-Esteem, 7. One Can't Hide. It is the great triumph of compulsory, government monopoly mass-schooling that among even the best of my fellow teachers, and among even the best of my students' parents, only a small number can imagine a different way to do things.
