RE: Compulsory Schooling, Where Self-Confidence and Independent Success are Cardinal Sins (A brief reflection from my time as a teacher).

I would have to agree. We are homeschooling/unschooling my granddaughter. It is the here that we must register for homeschooling and there is crap to follow but she knows far more than what is required and she laughs when she gets the tests. She is a free thinker an can think outside that damned box. She speaks three languages fluently. In math, she is at a grade 5 level and she is only five years old. She socializes well too. Who needs to sit ina class of same-aged kids all learning how to climb that tree with different skill sets...
