YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWho likes the sound of a school bell? Sheldon Richman certainly doesn't.
"Schools, by their structure, are preparing kids for some sort of authoritarian lifestyle," he says.
Richman is critical of the school choice movement, saying that even in charter schools, money is still being provided by the state.
He edits The Freeman and TheFreemanOnline.org, publications from the Foundation for Economic Education. Richman also is the author of Separating School and State and is a contributor to The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics.
Topics include: Unschooling; critiquing charter schools; for-profit private schools; and home schooling.
