School Choice

So there I was sitting on the bench and wondering ... am I bonkers?

What am I doing? Why did I even venture into this? Am I regretting this? Would I not be better suited to stick to my trade than venturing with pictures, placement, choice of words, being succinct and selling the program?

Hold on a second ... I am bonkers ... I have been doing just that for 26 years and now I am doing it for myself and not for anyone else.

Where does it all begin ?

It all began with the nutty idea over a bowl of nuts in November in the afternoon. Why not, am I truly bonkers for going it alone? Do I really want to venture out of the stoic jailhouse, otherwise known as a 'school' - it's anything BUT leisure. Why would I give up the cushy monthly deposits? Whoever thought of that word 'school' surely did not conceive of imprisoning the very substance which one is supposed to set free.

Do they really need to know the theorem rather than the man - Pythagoras? Do they really need to know stench in the test tube rather than the purposes of how alkaline values in our bodies vary? Do they really need to know how to conjugate the verb 'philanthropize' without once even treating a friend out for lunch?

Right ... perhaps one step too far here. What do we actually learn at school that we cannot in life? Why are more and more being homeschooled (are you out there listening?)? Were I remotely qualified to homeschool a child, it would be like owning the HKNPL (go look it up).

Choose carefully ... or be schooled

Maybe I am bonkers and nutty and digress ... but nothing ... absolutely nothing (short of running my own prison ... muahahaha) would I ever think of returning to the institutionalized jailhouse which is anything but a place of leisure.

Feel free to comment - be nice or be nutty.
