"Schooling is now equally professionalized. Instead of parents who guide their children through home, community, and work life, we now assign students to professional educators charged with teaching each child a specialty for an hour a day for fifteen weeks, and then the students move on to a new subject led by a different teacher. Students have no time to bond with their mentor or to discover and appreciate the wisdom of their instructor. Students are given no opportunity to watch their instructor struggle with learning, to copy the teacher’s perseverance and character, to see over the course of time that their mentors continue their studies as an ongoing pursuit. Children are designed to be nurtured, taught, and loved by two adults within a supportive community for an extended period of time. Instead, we put children in a situation where they are consistently molded to depend on their peers. Children are taught to value the other students more than their teachers, for at least their classmates follow them on the age-graded conveyor belt from class to class, year after year, whereas teachers come and go."

This is a great point about teachers coming and going in our lives so we become more dependent on other students. A lot of parents aren't involved in their childrens education which leaves another gap. I think this might be intentional so that children can be more easily influenced through the curriculum. It's the only thing that makes sense with how I became so leftist/liberal growing up... well, that and leftism is everywhere in popular culture.
