>... According to Illich, "obligatory instruction assumes the belief that
>man can do what God cannot, namely, manipulate others for their own
>salvation" (1970, p.50). By deschooling society, schools would continue to
>exist but their workings would be very different from those operating at
>present. Deschooling could only occur given alternative social arrangements
>and legal protections as well as a reconceptualization of what constitutes
>learning in the heart of every deschooled person.

>According to Illich, schools are the "reproductive organ of a consumer
>society" (1970). Schools produce myths upon which an economic society
>depends. Schooling is a ritual performed by participants who are made blind
>to the discrepancy between the purpose for and the consequences of the
>ritual. Despite the advertised purpose of promoting social equality and
>democratic participation, schooling is "the ritual of a society committed
>to progress and development" (Cayley, 1992, p. 67). In his thesis titled,
>Deschooling Society, Ivan Illich promulgates four myths created by the
>school ritual; 1) the myth of unending consumption, 2) the myth of
>measurement of values, 3) the myth of packaging values, and 4) the myth of
>self-perpetuating progress. ...
>
>...As the creator, propagator, and protector of these four educational
>myths, schools retain their sacred positions as the purveyor of "secular
>salvation" (Gabbard, 1993).
