       Dusting off one of my most controversial opinions: I don't think private schools should be allowed. https://werd.io/2022/do-we-really-need-private-schools

       @benwerd I don't get it. Should we force children to go to government-run institutions with absolutely no alternative?How would this look like when it comes to policy?

       @masterofthetiger @benwerd I don’t think government schools should exist. People would be better off not knowing what they teach. Any motivated eight-year-old can learn to read and write in a few months, all alone. The Harry Potters books are good motivation.

       @billstclair @benwerd That's what I was getting at. I don't think that's the whole picture, but I don't think we need government schools for people to learn enough to become individual agents in society and the world.
