Title: Everything else is great! My only concern:
Review: Skip the rant on bureaucratic problems (& story) if you want and go straight to Chapter 3 to start reading.I wish it would talk more about people's experiences and ideas for learning to replace the venting chapters.After reading it at 16, I was inspired to take my frustration with the lack of motivation for learning I saw with my classes and made a website for resources on autodidacticism. So If you're not confident enough to totally overhaul the system, you can at least do something about it. Making this site led me to talk with actual lifelong learners and advocates about their thoughts on knowledge and education, the process they underwent and so forth. Regardless of how you are conditioned to think what education, learning, school, is - the book does open up a new way to look at things, even if you disagree (provided you're open to it).
