Education (Educating Kids) cannot succeed as long as it is Compulsory Schooling (Coercion).

Profile of Ny Lilleskole in Denmark.

• We Have To Call It School Video is online

To make schooling work, we must

• stop making it compulsory

• provide non-school methods of Certification

• have schools stop ranking/rating people (Bell Curve)

• have schools stop making pscho-babble evaluations of students, and just give them grades

  • have these grades be "owned" by the student, never distributed without permission, originals handed over to student

Emphasis on Learning By Doing.
