Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.

Summary

This quote suggests that the current state of schools and teachers is not focused on education and nurturing students, but rather on controlling and restricting them. It implies that schools are designed to keep children contained and prevent them from interfering with their parents' lives or responsibilities. The quote criticizes the lack of a true educational environment and implies that schools function more like prisons rather than nurturing institutions.
