[Nectar] The Failure of Modern Public Education

[Guest guest]

Education is good but is the schooling system good?

 

>From the book: Dumbing us down by John Taylor Gatto.

 

"I've noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my twenty-five years of

teaching: that schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to

the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that

scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics

classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don't

really teach anything except how to obey orders."

 

"Schools are intended to produce, through the application of formulas,

formulaic human beings whose behavior can be predicted and

controlled."
