This book contains notes I was keeping during a year in school as a teacher, discussing matters of education with friends of mine. For this publication a lot has been added. While I was a student, influences from outside the school system helped me know what I was interested in. If I had to rely on the school system, I would never have realized my goals in life, I would even have grown a lot of hate against those very things I was going to devote my life to later on! Is there any better definition for a failed system of education?
