he's a boomer britbong author who's mostly known for his horrible histories books.
he's a strong critic of schools and has said
kinda agree with him here, i don't remember most of what i was fucking taught when i was school.
one notable thing i remember being taught was hinduism back when i was 9-10.
this is funny because except for a handful of black kids, all of the kids at my school white.
there were no indians, hindus, or any south-east asians in general at that place.
Mr. Deary also dislikes libraries because in his words:
kinda agree with libraries, nobody goes to them to read, they only go to them to use the computers or study.
him saying that people feel entitled to read books for free at the expense of authors and publishers sounds like he's being pretty jewish tbh.
then again, if he's not getting what he's properly owed from his work, then he kinda has a right to be.

he also wanted to ban his own books from schools becauseI've no interest in schools. They have no relevance in the 21st century. They were a Victorian idea to get kids off the street.
Who decided that putting 30 kids with only their age in common in a classroom with one teacher was the best way of educating?
At my school there were 52 kids in the class and all I learned was how to pass the 11-plus.
Testing is the death of education. Kids should leave school at 11 and go to work. Not down the mines or up chimneys, mind, but working with computers or something relevant. Everything I learned after 11 was a waste of time.
Trigonometry, Boyle's law: it's never been of any use to me. They should have been teaching me the life skills I was going to need, such as building relationships, parenting and managing money.
I didn't have a clue about any of these things at 18. Schools need to change."
"classrooms take all the fun out of his stories".[14]

Mr. Deary also dislikes libraries because in his words:
"they have been around too long", "are no longer relevant" and have "had their day,"
He argues: "we've got this idea that we've got an entitlement to read books for free, at the expense of authors, publishers and council tax payers... We don't expect to go to a food library to be fed. The car industry would collapse if we went to car libraries for free use of Porsches... If I sold the book I'd get 30p per book. I get six grand, [when] I should be getting £180,000.
