Down with School!
打倒學(xué)校！
School is an institution built on the axiom that learning is the result of teaching.

Most learning happens casually, and even most intentional learning is not the result of programmed instruction.

Most people who learn a second language well do so as a result of odd circumstances and not of sequential teaching.

教育研究日益顯示，孩子們是從同齡人、漫畫(huà)、偶爾的觀察，及更重要的是學(xué)校的活動(dòng)，學(xué)到了教師假裝要教給他們的大多數(shù)東西。
