radical unschooling philosophy

OK many people are talking about how apple got bigger than microsoft in size. They are talking about market cap. However, how did these two companies become the titans of programming? Let's take a look at Steven Jobs and Bill Gates - what do we see? Well, both are college drop outs and leaving college was the key to their success. This is part of the radical unschooling philosophy which is so now.

What we are finding is that success is tied to having a mind that is open. Did Edison go to college? And yet he many many inventions of which we use now. Without an open mind you have no progress. People ask me if Steven Gibbs went to college and I say no. It is almost like success is related to thinking outside the box, instead of memorizing what was written in a book that is often wrong.
