GWS :: ten

18 September 2013 by Kortney

vbs 094

many people seem to accept and support the idea that school is a place where children have a lot of bad experiences to get them ready for the bad experiences they will have later in Real Life.

people who don’t feel that life is basically boring, meaningless, and cruel should not be compelled to watch their children being brainwashed, programmed, and bullied into that belief.

    i get so tired of hearing about Real Life. This is a big part of why we’re at home–the bullying I experienced didn’t beat down my optimism.
