Book Reviews of The Underground History Of American Education: A Schoolteacher's Intimate Investigation Into The Problem Of Modern Schooling By John Taylor Gatto
Book Review: now this is real education
Summary: 5 Stars
while his other book, "Dumbing us Down" is a much quicker read, this is the book in which he really explains how it all came to be and how a few elite groups got their hands on the controls of the american public education system or really who started and for what purpose. read "Dumbing us Down" first and then read this book when you want to know more... a lot more. this is a lot to take in and really reads almost more like a text book, but is well worth the read. you may just find yourself thinking things you never thought before or thinking to yourself that you knew something like this must have been the case. either way Gatto puts together a wonderfully detailed and deep probing look at how this system of mass schooling and over all dumbing/creating a robotic population came to be.
