Subject: Chesterton on education(beforeTV)

" The real world ,that roars round the poor little gutter-boy as he goes 
to school, is an utterly anti-educational world. If the school is really 
giving any education, the world is certainly engaged day and night in 
ruining his education. For the world gives him things anyhow, in any order,
with any result; the world gives him things without knowing that he gets them;
the world gives him things meant for somebody else: the world throws up 
at him from morning till night, quite blindly, madly, and without 
meaning or aim; and this process, whatever else it is, is the exact opposite
of the process of education. The gutter-boy spends about three quarters of his
time in getting uneducated. He is educated by the modern state school.
