Description
Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
John Taylor Gatto's radical treatise on public education argues that compulsory schooling is driving out natural curiosity and problem-solving skills, replacing them with rule-following and disillusionment. Thirty years of teaching in the public school system led Gatto to this conclusion, and he became a fierce advocate for families and young people taking back education and learning.
Now, in a 25th anniversary edition featuring a new foreword, this book continues to challenge the status quo and inspire new generations of parents and students to take control of learning and kickstart an empowered society of self-directed lifetime-learners.
