If you are anything like me… you hated school. Waking up early, learning subjects that had no relevance to my life (then and now), having a dictator preach from the front of the room, having to get a pass to take a sh!t, detention if you didn’t get back to the class room in time after lunch… and that damn bell!
I know there are some out there that loved their schooling growing up. But I would wager that the masses had a strong dislike for it. What many don’t know is school (as we know it today) was created during the industrial revolution. It was developed at a time when corporations needed 30 people to be able to perform the exact same function/job. Today this is the furthest thing from what is needed to improve our planet, communities, and life as a whole.
