Psychologist and author Peter Gray exposes how modern schooling is crushing creativity, independence, and courage in children. For most of history, kids developed critical life skills through free play and self-directed learning. But today’s education system, rooted in obedience and control, has stripped kids of autonomy, leaving them less resilient, more anxious, and unprepared for the risks of real life.
Creativity scores have plummeted. Anxiety has soared. And children are no longer trusted to think, feel, or even fail on their own. It’s time to reexamine the purpose of school and ask whether it’s helping our kids grow, or holding them back.
