Quote

…while it may seem that some of us made it through mass schooling unscathed—and even on top—I believe that few, if any of us, really do. We don’t know how else we might have spent those fifteen thousand hours: to follow our curiosities, to reveal our interests, to pursue our passions, to read, and read, and read some more. We don’t know how well-educated we could have become in our youth if we hadn’t spent so much time sitting, memorizing, repeating, forgetting, and otherwise playing school. How might your life be different now if you were granted the freedom to pursue your passions as a child, rather than spend so many hours following someone else’s schooled agenda?
