I am a bleeding heart, activist and artsy wanna be type. Are you saying there is something wrong with that? I think we need more of it. <br /><br />I agree that unschoolers might not develop the competitive edge that is required to succeed in mainstream business. Instead, they can often be found living entrepreneurial lives filled with happiness and freedom where the boss they answer to is themselves. <br /><br />I love my friend and career adviser, Penelope Trunk's take on this.

The 'get of your arse and do something' class. Many have written on this.

School generally teaches conformity and teamwork, however much you get kicked. Being educated outside school, you get to miss the indoctrination and the peer pressure and are capable of thinking outside the box. <br /><br />For all that British society supposedly has a class system and the US doesn't - Corporate America is very class (or status) conscious and if you step out of line then things can go downhill very quickly.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933481769025144876noreply@blogger.com
