Why do you not sell used schoolbooks? Ask the school authorities.

After watching John Stossel's Stupid in America, I've come to the conclusion that entrepreneurship, especially starting a home or small business, is discouraged in American public schools.

Why are teachers discouraging our children from learning the principles and action needed to start home businesses? From the research I've done, I believe it's because they want a dumbed down population that's ignorant of monetary and fiscal policies, and how to handle their money.

Almost everyone in the 20th and 21st centuries have gone to high school and remember those confusing years. In our Junior and Senior years, we had to take the SAT and/or the ACT and pick our college majors while still young adults. Dissent was always discouraged; and anything other than going to college and working for somebody else was the only true path in life according to our higher ups in the school system. Inventing and coming up with new and interesting ideas, it seemed to me, was frowned upon as well. Being free and independent individuals was also looked down on from the teachers and bureaucrats that ran the school. You couldn't go to the restroom unless you raised your hand and asked, you couldn't do the math work your way (even if you got the right answer!), and at least in my school, we were all forced to follow a certain dress code. It also seemed to me that everything we did in high school was just a test for what was coming next, but whatever came next was always just another test! I seriously didn't feel prepared for life after high school.

That's because they wanted us to be obedient, non-determined workers with no goals or ambition. If a country has a non-questioning, non-thinking population, they can get away with anything they want and keep the entire country in a stupefied daze (that's what happens when you live paycheck to paycheck). This isn't a hard task with our valueless monetary system and the horrible indoctrination centers that we refer to as 'public schools'.

If more people would break free of the day-to-day grind and start their own business...selling used books, starting a lawn care service, opening a brick-and-mortar store, whatever - I think there would be a lot more prosperity and wealth in the United States.

This is why I preach about selling used books so much. I honestly have not found an easier business to get started at that makes the amount of money that book scouting does. Break free of your chains and shackles - become a book scouter.
