My letter to education...

My name is Billy Moore. I am 16-years-old and for the past eight years I have been home educated. This is my letter to education...

I have often felt the need to justify “why” I have been a home-schooled student of the world for the past eight years of my life.

I believe that as a society we are more than happy to question the unconventional, the people who take the path less travelled.

This path carries uncertainty and most definitely isn’t covered by the “insurance of security”. I have experienced this first-hand – questioning the minorities instead of the masses, we’re taught to conform and then to exclude those who don’t conform.

I want to redefine a word that is commonly misused and over-looked – “education”. In fact I am correcting the definition, bringing it back to where it was born. I believe that the word has been lost in translation over many years now.
