Prevent

"Growth and mastery come only to those who vigorously self-direct. Initiating, creating, doing, reflecting, freely associating, enjoying privacy -- these are precisely what the structures of schooling are set up to prevent, on one pretext or another."
--John Taylor Gatto (1937-)
American school teacher of 29 years, author, New York State Teacher of the Year, 1991
