And folks.

Remember that home schooling and apprenticeship were a part of human culture and civilisation before the invention of schools. Just that with industrialization and urbanization, and finally with women's liberation, these aspects of humanity vanished. We can rethink school. At least for the early periods of life for children.

Dissent and criticism is the first step towards thinking about a solution. Once the problem is identified and clearly defined, we can then turn our attention to considering a workable solution to the problem.
