You, if you please, may say molluscs; I won't. I broke a tooth yesterday in talking botany, and must avoid zoology to-day.' Our gold and silver, we rich folk might symbolise by rose and lily, but we don't. We think of our poor ancestors and call the money Tin.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the contentious debate surrounding the education of the masses. The author challenges prevalent notions of education as a tool for social transformation, arguing instead for a defense of ignorance. Through a series of thought-provoking discussions, this book sheds light on the historical and cultural contexts of education in England, examining the narrow curriculum and harsh disciplinary practices employed in middle-class schools. The author provocatively asserts that an embrace of knowledge has led to a dangerous climate of party strife and misunderstanding. Exploring the potential consequences of a fully educated society, this book questions the role of ignorance in preserving social cohesion and maintaining the status quo. Ultimately, this book advocates for the preservation of ignorance as a means of ensuring a peaceful and stable society.
