Education is war declared on the young. You’re going to imprint violently on the young a certain pattern. That is war. I would suggest that if you were to put TV in the classroom, it would blow the classroom to bits. Then the teaching process should be completely transformed, it would be exactly like bringing the “Trojan Horse”, inside the walls of Troy, it would simply alter the entire pattern and procedures of the classroom and create an altogether new educational form.
