Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

There are two views of the purpose of schooling.

The first view is that schooling is for the purpose of education.
The second view is that schooling is for the purpose of 1) freeing parents to work; 2) ranking people for job assignment.

I believe schooling should be for the purpose of education and education should be to teach people how to think and learn. This is why I did not do well as a teacher, because I also believe in actuality schooling is not for education, and when it is, education is intended to be indoctrination.

They call me a cynic.
