Similar to the posters for “Everthing I need to know in life I learned in Kindergarten”, the same seems to hold true for Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’. A few things we learned
The English have a lot to teach us about a proper diet: “If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”
If travelling, install a nanny cam instead of just calling your wife on a collect call: “…sounds like a man answering…he keeps hanging up!”
Public schools can be accurately referenced as “Government Camps”: “We don’t need no thought control….Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!”
People often ask why we’ve pulled our kids out of the public school system. One of the basic reasons is ‘Conformity’. Ask yourself at a high level, what exactly do our public schools teach? They emphasize conformity; de-emphasizing the individual and generally stifling creativity. They deliver a constant drip of pro-state propaganda disguised as curriculum. They try to prepare us to be regular, authority respecting workers in today’s society. The result is most often a mediocre education…and an experience very similar to prison.

Interesting….I attended private schools for my entire education, and find the items on that list a lot more true for private school than public (where my children attend). I also find that they have a lot more resources available to them. However, I suppose that I am what one would consider a ‘regular, authority-respecing’ person 😉
