Yeah, he went through the light version of that in child prison--er I mean--high school. It never appealed to him. Like me he gets more out of reading for himself and making up his own mind than sitting in a room somewhere being told what to think by some guy who probably hasn't even been in the real world.

The public school system seems more like government sponsored youth internment camps to me. Clearly, teaching kids anything useful is not the purpose.
