Abstract
Schooling for perhaps two-thirds of adolescents is at best inefficient; it is commonly simply destructive and brutalizing for everyone involved. It is a gigantic absurdity. (Frank Musgrove) Normal adolescents can find themselves and grow further only by coping with jobs, sex, and chances of the real world—it is useless to feed them curricular imitations. (Paul Goodman) Schools are the graveyards of desire. (Slogan on the wall of a Melbourne school)Keywords
