Once you understand the logic behind modern schooling, its tricks and traps are fairly easy to avoid. School trains children to be employees and consumers; teach your own to be leaders and adventurers. School trains children to obey reflexively; teach your own to think critically and independently. Well-schooled kids have a low threshold for boredom; help your own to develop an inner life so that they'll never be bored. Urge them to take on the serious material, the grown-up material, in history, literature, philosophy, music, art, economics, theology - all the stuff schoolteachers know well enough to avoid. Challenge your kids with plenty of solitude so that they can learn to enjoy their own company, to conduct inner dialogues. Well-schooled people are conditioned to dread being alone, and they seek constant companionship through the TV, the computer, the cell phone, and through shallow friendships quickly acquired and quickly abandoned. Your children should have a more meaningful life, and they can

Joy is not in things! It is in us

Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person

Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living

Nothing is done. Everything in the world remains to be done-or done over. The greatest picture is not yet "painted. The greatest play is not yet written. The greatest poem is unsung.

"Nothing is perfect, we can add. There is no perfect airline. There is no perfect government. There is no perfect law."

Faucets still drip, as one did years ago in Stiffens house-hold. As he and his seven –year old son tried to fix it, Stiffens had to admit that his generation could not make a fit faucet.

"But" said stiffens referring to his son" he may". There is a job for him and his generation in the plumbing business and in every other business.

"Teach your son that nothing is done finally and right; that nothing is known positively and completely; that the world is theirs-all of it"

Journalist Lincoln Stiffens
