Sex & Drugs & RocknRoll

That’s what I remember wanting as a teenager. Although these days it may be more
"Sex & Drugs & HipHop", which doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

School I remember being at best boring; something to get out of the way so we could get on with the real business of life. And at worst, something evil imposed on us with the intent of mind-control and conformity. In the words of the Small Faces “Why go to learn the words of fools?”

So the question must be asked.

Why school?

And especially:

Why force people to be in school?

And what I really wanna know is “What’s best for teenagers? If not school, what’s the alternative?
