Ivan Illich
“People need not be taught; they need access to the opportunity to learn.”
“We must rediscover the distinction between hope and expectation.”
“Health, learning, dignity, independence, and creative endeavor are defined as little more than the performance of the institutions which claim to serve these ends.”
“The right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school.”
“The public is indoctrinated to believe that skills are scarce and can be obtained only through institutions.”
“To hell with good intentions.”
“School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is.”
“Most learning is not the result of instruction.”
