Interesting. John Taylor Gotto on education and the value of less rather than more school. He mentions that the best programmers are self-taught.

Dewey said the great mistake of traditional pedagogy was to make
reading and writing constitute the bulk of early schoolwork.
New York State, for
instance, employs more school administrators than all of the European
Economic Community nations combined.
In modern society,
said Dewey, people would be defined by their associations--not by
their own individual accomplishments. It such a world people who
read too well or too early are dangerous because they become privately
empowered, they know too much, and know how to find out what they
don't know by themselves, without consulting experts
rederich Froebel, the inventor of kindergarten in 19th century
Germany, fashioned his idea he did not have a "garden for children"
in mind, but a metaphor of teachers as gardeners and children as
the vegetables.
Kindergarten was created to be a way to break the
influence of mothers on their children.
Violence, narcotic addictions, divorce,
alcoholism, loneliness...all these are but tangible measures of
a poverty in education.
I heard a
vice-president of IBM tell an audience of people assembled to redesign
the process of teacher certification that in his opinion this country
became computer-literate by self-teaching, not through any action
of schools. He said 45 million people were comfortable with computers
who had learned through dozens of non-systematic strategies, none
of them very formal; if schools had pre-empted the right to teach
computer use we would be in a horrible mess right now instead of
leading the world in this literacy.
