Education

Man.

This article boggles my mind. Go read and come back to read my comments, ok? Clicking on links is good exercise.

Anyway.

Of course myths don’t qualify as nonfiction even though they teach us about ourselves. Hell, reading Shakespeare teaches me about myself, that doesn’t mean he’s nonfiction. Schools exist to educate students about their world. Parents exist to educate students about themselves, their familial history, their family relgion, etc. Parents can’t shunt all the effort of educating their children onto schools. Sheesh.
