Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Taylor Gatto

5.0

This is THE tome of unschoolers from what I can tell and with good reason. It's written by an award-winning NY schoolteacher that thinks compulsory education is...well, bullshit. If you were the kind of kid that snarled their way through high school wondering just why the authority figures there could treat you like disobedient dogs, or why you needed to waste years learning math you'd forget the minute the bell rang. If you think the public education system is irreparably broken and counter-intuitive to learning, READ THIS.

I also think every single school teacher on Earth should read this too. GREAT read and excellent for audio listening.
