We learn better when nobody is teaching us
We can observe this in every baby and in our own experience. Our vital competence comes from learning by doing, without any kind of teaching.
Only without addiction or envy, only without educational goals, in freedom, can we enjoy true learning.
“Suppose you had the revolution you are talking and dreaming about. Suppose your side won, and you had the kind of society you wanted. How would you live, you personally, in that society? Start living that way now! Whatever you would do then, do it now. When you run up against obstacles, people, or things that won't let you live that way, then begin to think about how to get over or around or under that obstacle, or how to push it out of the way, and your politics will be concrete and practical."
Take this as a hint to find a solution to certificates
We call Unitierra a university to laugh at the official system and to play with its symbols. After one or two years of learning, once their peers think they have enough competence in a specific trade, we give the “students" a magnificent university diploma. We are thus offering them the social recognition denied to them by the educational system. Instead of certifying the number of ass-hours, as conventional diplomas do, we certify a specific competence, immediately appreciated by the communities, and protect our “students" against the usual discrimination. Most of our graduates are surprising us, however, by not asking for any diploma. They don't feel the need for it.
