Yes: James,   "Children naturally learn from their surroundings";  in some 
cases they learn to steal, rape,intmidate and kill-- from what they see, in 
their surroundings.

I am no defender of the present state of public education.  I simply do not
desire for the "Lord of the Flies" to escape the perimeter of the school yard.

I don't think we misunderstand the points you make.  Your mental  accuity and 
control of argument notwithstanding;  I suggest that rather than trying to 
convert the populous to en masse unschooling, your time would be better spent 
attempting to make youthful voluntary steralization our next
abhorent societal norm.......my dog had another seizure, dangit'...bobford
