Re: [xmca] abolish schools?



I am sympathetic to a total critique of existing schooling practices but IMHO the proposed solution is insane.
The VC of the University of Melbourne (previously an ancient 
historian) arrived at the idea that "World of Warfare" was a 
model of the university of the near future. Fortunately he 
left before ruining the university entirely. Mad.
The author simply gives up on what is admittedly an almost 
insuperable problem, trying to rectify a global social 
crisis in school classrooms, by abanoning resistance to the 
forces he is complaining about.
