People would be busy doing interesting things that mattered. Doing them, they would grow more informed, competent, and wise. They would learn about the world from living in it, working in it, and changing it, and from knowing a wide variety of people who were doing the same.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
-Mark Twain

Homeschooling in Action

The crazy combative patriotism that plainly threatens to destroy civilization is very largely begotten by the schoolmaster and the schoolmistress in their history lessons. They take the growing mind at a naturally barbaric phase and inflame it and fix its barbarism.
-George Herbert Wells, in "The Informative Content of Education"
