Waking Times
Video - Part four in a series of short videos based on John Taylor Gatto‘s book, The Underground History of American Education. This excerpt is from The Prologue, Section Six: “The New Dumbness”(p.16-18)
John Taylor Gatto (born December 15, 1935) is a retired American school teacher with nearly 30 years experience in the classroom, and author of several books on education. He is an activist critical of compulsory schooling, of the perceived divide between the teen years and adulthood, and of what he characterizes as the hegemonic nature of discourse on education and the education professions.
