A Liberal Education 0
Reg Henry reflects:
And so did I become a paragon of learning and a pillar of decency? Er, not quite. I think I would have done better with a self-esteem program. Having watched corporal punishment applied brutally and arbitrarily, I became outraged by unfairness and skeptical of sternly imposed authority.
In short, I started down the road to becoming a liberal. Now you mockers of self-esteem wouldn’t want that to happen to any kid, would you? Old-school thinking deserved an F in some areas and that’s why the education world changed.
