"When you have a child, you care more than anyone else about that child. You're caring about their long-term success and happiness and their health. If you look at just a first principles basis, what is the school interested in? What is the state interested in? It's more about compliance and conformity. It's not about creativity. It's not about critical thinking. It is conformity and compliance." ~ Tali & Scott
