- That it's OK for the majority of students to leave high school believing they are not good learners;
- That it is OK to believe anything less than in the inherent worth and value of every child;
- That schooling as it now exists is about increasing individual learning capability and not actually about enforcing compliance and conformance;
- That politicians, the elite, and business-people should have more influence over education than local parents, teachers, and the students themselves;
- That students are not capable of directing their own learning, and that this isn't the ultimate goal of education.
