Over mij
I'm pretty one-dimensional. My passion is (and has been for fifteen years) getting folks to understand the dangers of compulsory K-12 education. (I'm flexible! I'll consider that three- to ten-year-olds should be strongly encouraged and helped to become readers(from sympathetic and flexible mentors)and to learn to do some basic math in the context of the real world. Then get out of the way.)

We need to be raising young people to respect their own developing interests, to encourage them to seek knowledge and skills in areas that interest them, and to cease training them that learning is delivered at times and in a manner that suits others and will be "assessed" through grades.

We desperately need critical thinkers--not accolade-/certificate-/diploma-seekers. Encourage learners to test their own level of knowledge and skills: does it work? If a young person wants to box for their toys, encourage them to build one. If the sides don't meet, the box won't work well. Intervene with principles, geometry and the proper use of tools when their interest is there and their attention is voluntary.

I write about schooling and its evils. Many of these essays are posted on my website (www.sesage.net). The ultimate goal is in progress: A book entitled "Trojan Horse in the Classroom: What goes on in schools and why you should care".

The drawing on the right is Franz Kafka (metamorphizing).
