I mean, we tell young people it's important to think critically. Well, this is what that looks like. Why is it a given that going to K-12 is somehow an immutable necessity, especially with the current curriculum and experience what it is? They are right to question it even if the answer ends up being that going to school has value.
I'm here to tell you that in 1989 we really didn't have any trouble with critical thinking on the topic of going to high school on any given Wednesday.
Guided by key 20th century American[0] and British[1] thought leaders we were developing and refining these theories of "immutable necessity" in suburban cars and convenience store parking lots on a regular basis.
