    John Caldwell Holt, either “Instead of Education” or “How Children Fail.” I should reread them; is been a while.

      I meant sources showing how “school is entirely geared towards parents” and how “the system doesn’t actually care about them [children], and isn’t designed to”

        I… did? I mean, I can give you more of my pro tooth reading list but those are the ones that would explain that particular point. I’m not sure what else you’re looking for.

          Your sources may show how the system is more beneficial for parents but does it show proof that it was designed that way?

            I think so. And if Holt doesn’t go into that part of the history then John Taylor Gatto does. Wanna join our book club? You have me wanting to reread all of these.
