The Underground History of American American Education: An Intimate Investigation Into the Prison of Modern Schooling by John Taylor Gatto
This book was a bit rough, I thought. It needs some editing. There are a lot of good tidbits in it, though. I have always wondered where our education system came from and how it has evolved into the system we now see. This book does a fair job. I am skeptical of a few of his ideas, but that can be answered with more research on my part. I think I went away with more questions then answers, but sometimes that is the purpose of books.
Combine your reading of this with the book "They Thought They were Free," and you will get a tingle in your spine. Both America and Germany were educated in the Prussian model. Did that contribute to one of the worst evils in history?
