quotes from the film:

Schooling the World

"School forcibly snatches away children from a world full of God's own handiwork...

...It is a mere method of discipline which refuses to take into account the individual...

...a manufactory for grinding out uniform results.

I was not a creation of the schoolmaster:

the Government Board of Education was not consulted when I took birth in the world."

-- Rabindranath Tagore,
1927 Nobel Prize winner for Poetry



"A general State education is a mere contrivance for molding people to be exactly like one another:

and as the mold in which it cats them is that which pleases the predominant power in the government...

... it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by a natural tendency to one over the body."

John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"



"Education...makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook."

--Henry David Thoreau

Back for MountainFilm In Telluride

I returned home today to Telluride, where I'll be throught the end of the month and Mountainfilm In Telluride. The sun is shining and the surrounding beauty once again steals my breath. I'm busy inspecting this years films and videos. Numerous videos are on HD and the quality is amazing, I can't wait to see the image projected in the Palm on the $250,000 HD projector.
