Did you go to school for education? One of the first things they teach you are the many roles that schools have. Learning. Daycare. Nutrition. Counseling... Therapy.

If you understand our schools - you know that they are not serious educational institutions. In fact, recent research has shown that if you put 30 kids in a classroom with computers and a supervisor - and if they want to learn, they will learn more than with a teacher. Kind of undermines the old "the teacher is the most important part of learning" thing huh?

Anyway - don't misunderstand my post. But I think it is very clear that most of school time is completely wasted, and I think most of us know that. The reason our school day goes from 8-4 or so is because we need babysitters. Most kids could complete their work in 2 hours - but we need the daycare. It's a historical fact. 😉
