In this article, the author talks about the public schooling system as a forced act on our society that actually makes the future of education worse for us. Instead of letting our children think for themselves, learn the trades they wish to learn, and force them to attend for a certain amount of time, we are taking away their personal freedoms of education. Many people are pushed to thinking that a set school rubric will help every child to get the education they need for their future, but according to the views of the author, they don't. The author's view is that society should be looking more into home schooling and trade schooling to help the United States grow to be more productive for the future. Every generation, school is seen more as a prison; molding our future to think as the way the government wants them to think. But if we were to give freedom to complete schooling outside of force, children will regain their excitement for learning and pursue to better our nation on their own free will.
