July 24th, 2010 · No Comments

A must read book. Written in 1905, and within this short period of 100 years, our education system had totally change. Emphasis on different kind of achievement, producing cookie cutter students that fit for an economy that will hold you bound to debt and climbing career and social ladder that will only ruin one life and fall into depression. Let’s bring back the earnest work of using your hand and not just typing into the latest search engine. Let’s bring the children back into nature. Exposed them to the cycle of life. Let them run, fall, bruised and in turn lifting their spirit are set it free.

The author form a school: Children’s School Farm, Dewitt Clinton Park, 54thStreet and 12th Avenue, New York City, 1909.
