Good stuff, for a long time I've believed "Schooling" actually did more bad than good for most people.

It always seemed like the point was to break people.

I've been to Public School, Private School, and a Charter School in High school.  The Private and Charter Schools were a completely different experience.

It was brilliant.  :) Don't think the speaker was aiming at doing away with a good education, but more or less the whole idea of trying hard surpassing actually accomplishing something. So who was he?
