A remark that is presumably recommending we broaden our minds, agreed.  However don't underestimate that the experimental test options of the closet.  Could prove and reveal an interesting perspective. Weigh measure, and observe every option. Don't rule out any perspectives, get as many as possible. At the risk of being called dictatorial, find that structure. 

Indeed, but trying to find that correct governing structure I notice gains that searcher accusations of being called a dictator for insisting on the correct procedure to that structure be practiced. No doubt those accusations are by those same dictatorial individuals who insists that no such structure exists, but to quote the reported pertinent response of Galileo to the Catholic Church that the planet earth does not move, boldly he postulated "but it does" and the universe has structure, it does.

Its not possible to live in a world that no longer exists, but it is possibly to live in a world that has progressed if you progress. I presume this was Mr Hoffer intended prophesy.

Don't understand this quote. Schooling and education is for the purposes of teaching guidance and direction to prosperity for the students.

Be willing to speculate that the public schools are not mad science or mad scientists.  The schools are no doubt open to new ideas or new procedures if anyone might present these ideas or procedures.

We must penetrate ever more deeply into the mentally and physically disordered facade in order to truly understand the true nature of what is being authentically presented. It is hoped that the speculatists is not confusing the notion of knowing less with the revealing perception of simplicity and order.

The student's must realize the value of initiative.  The students must realize the need for inquiry and setting goals. The students must come to realize you must be willing to change, find change, and be change. The students must understand while you face a flawed institution, you can still  reach self excellence when you present and represent your humanity.    Put your all into it, and get your all out of it.  Initiative, leadership, belief in yourself. You aren't concerned what your school or any institution can do for you, you are concerned what can do for your institution.

Political folks tend to float around in the world of make believe. The student of life offers positive contributions to the natural environment.

The good representative of government welcomes your sincere questions. Do you have an appropriate question of inquiry for governmental progress?

Schooling is the institution.  The inward search and research for the appropriate contributory institutionalist is the education.

These subjects, sex, consumer, or anti racism in my experience, we're never addressed because no one is to discuss "politics, religion, or sex." Racism is certainly a political strategy, religion a consumer product, and sex is just plain being dead, as advertised on the public transit system, "dying for sex."

The individual must look inward in their own heart and mind to find the answers.  If the individual searches comprehensively they find no predatory species nature but a conclusive understanding of the best interest of all.

Well, Mr Jefferson following, when you provide information that sodomy is wrong you have a seemingly entire population on the run, unfortunately away from that information. Trying to catch them for more supporting information is challenging.  Heterogenous people are people. 

The Socialist emphasizes that education is the dominant power in government. Voices with ideas, not votes, voices with ideas.

An properly prepared educator creates an atmosphere of education so attractive that students desires to attend, and the notion of compulsory isn't even under consideration and insubstantial. Nothing is more entertaining and enjoyable as life promoting information.

Compulsory schooling; challenge it, socialize it, and humanize it.

Love this young lady's passion, Miss Keller needs some clarification however, there's ideas in college as anywhere, it's just trying to secure degrees at the same time gaining ideas that can be the tremendous challenge. Best of fortune all the same.

Typical political roundabout speaking. I like the specifics of Mr Keating of teaching "beauty, love, and romance," although not knowing much of the medium of poetry, there's an appropriate accessable medium somewhere I'm sure. If we could get youth to explore these curatives it could possibly have a lasting effect.

Vegan personality defined as:  what's in the ingredients?

For the devout educator, Mr Gatto's quote converges at the intersection of penetrating insight colliding head on with the disturbing "Freudian reality" actual human unreality with the students being described as "graded" "meat."  As far as the issue of compulsory I personally never felt forced into the schooling atmosphere for my naturally inclined disposition was to find any available socialization. In schooling, you have to develop a vegan personality, so too speak.

As usual with these long winded quotes it leaves not much substance, as well as a lot of projection on the part of the quoter as they describe their own elitist, arrogant, conceited manner and call the rest of us dunces and idlers.  Very pathetic common attitude. Ironically, he's was, sad remembrance of course, a "commoner."

One hopes a purposeful inspiring idea will sway the masses. To point the childish destroyer in the direction of creativity is a great challenge. Well, I'm certainly open for suggestions. To keep my own creative impulses engaged keeps me quite busy. We are the universe, well are the adults, is that not optimism folks?

This a mistaken notion that formal schooling necessarily means the same as education. Schooling can be educational or it can be a charade, it up to the individual. The creative seeks education with every chance.

No, respect for the truth is a natural inclination.  This "acquired" notion is just a hint of recovery from the overwhelming conformism of our psychotic populous arrangement.  It would have been pleasant to offer the  appropriate  congratulations to Mr Van Doren.

This criminal minded individual would naturally not be able to differentiate legal plunder from social responsibility. In this "predatory" conventional arrangement, the conventioneer  wouldn't recognize the most civilized displays of appropriate behavior. The typical conventional damn fool wants to use your own kind manner to assist in undermining your good intentions.
