schooling is for the amusement of the masses and means of profit for enterprising persons. -Arnold Tonybee, Quoted from JTGs book UnderGround History of American Education the purpose of schooling is to put down dissent and originality. -H.L. Mencken, Quoted from JTGs book UnderGround History of American Education Academics are of little value. -Edward Lee Thorndike, Quoted from JTGs book UnderGround History of American Education Administration covers the surface of the society with a network of small complicated rules, minutes, and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, guided; men are seldom forced by its act, but they are constantly restrained from acting; such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to be nothing than a flock of timid, and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. -Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
