school is the culprit

Autism is the new ADD. That's quite bold. My wife snapped the picture that I'm using today. She nanny's Cammi and she drops her off at pre school. This picture reeks of why school sucks. How unsubtle the shift is from freedom to regimentation. Kids cry because they know they are going into the gas chamber that will ultimately destroy their innocence. They can smell the school's stink as soon as the door to enter is swung open. I have no pleasant memories of pleasant scents from any school I ever attended. Well maybe one, the scent of the ink drying on the mimeographed sheets being passed out by the nun. I wasn't alone because I caught a few others quaffing the sheet when it landed on their desk. I hated tests,but I loved the smell of the questions.For some reason, I survived school. Probably most of us do in a sense, but some really got so absorbed by the system they were able to achieve awards, plaques and honors. Me, I missed getting an award for perfect attendance in high school by one sick day. It was my mother who said....you're not going to school today because you have a fever. I was a sophomore at the time. None of this mattered to me at the time because I never realized there was such a thing as a perfect attendance award until graduation day. Some kid in my class got the perfect attendance award and had to go up on the stage and receive it from our smiling principal. So today I'm bragging that I came in second. But there was no second place award so I got none....none for anything. But you know what, I really had fun in those four years of high school and I had fun in grammar school too. I don't know where I learned this (probably wasn't any school) but from a young age I knew, that no one was going to break my spirit and stop me from having fun. And I'm sensing that this little cammi girl that my bride nanny's may not ever have perfect attendance, but already seems to have a grasp of the importance of her spirit.

I expect the issue with schools is servitude to Big Drug and their government and medical helpers. They are attempting an installation of ideas that is likely to work against them, but will make for some difficult times.
It was the going every day that got to me although there were periods where it was welcomed,still the regime of it,the whole our rules or the highway sort of thing…still I was a weird student accepted by most and even the teachers scratching thier heads accepted the fact that I was me and that was that. I'm not sure school breeds this out of you you are what you are regardless ,saying this I think homeschooling is an incredible option and still beat myself up from time to time that I'm not doing it,bc inside me I know it is probably the best gift you can offer your kids…..he's in grade one she starts next year there's still time to figure it all out,plus Moe is in the really cool school that actually encourages individuality
Maze ,tell Cammi she has the bestest name.
The only thing worse than school would have been home school. In my perception it's public school that gets abused kids out of the house. All children deserve access to dispassionate, caring observers outside their family. Although I realize home school may be good for a few, it's also potentially a death sentence to some and a confinement to suffering for many. People should not be allowed to keep their children completely away from the influence of the norms of their society. Children are entitled to a public level of experience. People who advocate for home school just don't GET it. They don't LISTEN to the potential for suffering that is created by allowing families to withdraw from the scrutiny of the mainstream. I'm right now asking myself why I'm getting so upset. I think it's the color of the yellow wall in the picture. It's the same color as our kitchen in the 1950's. Not every family, you know, should be allowed to home school.
