In the writing by Bach, Secrets of Bucaneer Scholar, his main point of view regarding education is that is more important than school itself.  He believes institutional learning is an inferior way of giving one an education and there are other outlets to gain an education.  This theory is seen in the text by Descartes who once attended one of the best schools in Europe.  After he finished his schooling and had graduated he started doubting that this form of education was beneficial to him.  Descartes had began coming across experiences in life that his education was not helping him with.  This had led him to find a new way to teach himself.  Descartes spent his time traveling and gaining knowledge through his experiences along the way.  This relates back to Bach’s theory that an institution is not the only way for one to gain knowledge.  This theory is also found in Lockes writing  An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.  In Locke’s writing he says that we have no innate principles in mind when we are born.  He believes that when born we have a clean empty mind and our knowledge is built through real life experiences.  Ultimately, with experience one can develop an education.
