School, as Opposed to Learning or Discovery

https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=school

"This is from Greek skholē "spare time, leisure, rest, ease; idleness;"


Athens was a place of learning. In this learning place, skol meant to not-work. The archetype was a quiet garden. Outside, in other words.

A Prussian/American school is the exact perversion of this. It would take dedication and research for it to be more of the opposite of the Greek version.

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
Blogger deliberately trying to kill itself, I expect.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
