If a truth burns down a relationship, a family, a community, or a society, it was only ever held together by lies. And to that I say, let it burn. I never want to live in a world where our need for ‘comfort’ supersedes our need to stand on a foundation only the truth can provide. —Mark Groves

1149: Kerry McDonald: Industrial Model of Schooling Diminishes Curiosity

W1149: Kerry McDonald: Industrial Model of Schooling Diminishes Curiosity
Children are natural learners. They are born with the drive to explore and synthesize their world. Their childhood curiosity and exuberance lead them to learn and discover, to make connections and deepen their knowledge, so that they may gain essential skills. This inclination to learn, along with a passion for discovery, does not magically disappear at a certain age. Our industrial model of schooling systematically diminishes a child’s natural curiosity and ability to self educate. —Kerry McDonald (Author: Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom)
