Actually, I still remember some of the projects I worked on with some friends at junior high. That was some good time management.
There's a teacher named Ms. Lorscheider,
For enjoyment she uses a schneider
I know that it's sick,
But she can't get no dick,
So I threw her off the cliff to excite her.
There's a teacher named Ms. McLean,
She likes to give students great pain,
She said she was rich,
I called her a bitch,
And she sent me to the office. How lame. |

How is that any different than a teacher at a school picking a book. Do you not think public school curricula are biased? |

I've been quoting Gatto throughout, but no one seems to have caught it. 
Namaste. |

That'd be the point of schooling - different entirely from education. Schooling, as Jon Gatto has shown, involves an external programming; whereas education involves an internal quest of synthesis. |
I remember reading about Gatto's educational reform theories a year or so ago and really liked them. |

He plans on releasing a 6-part documentary discussing the basis of schooling as well as methods of "attacking" the system. His first book got a lot of criticism from people who thought that he should've offered answers to the problems. I don't agree with that criticism. It seems rather incompetent to me, but nonetheless, he plans on "answering the critics". His newest book has a much more academic aire to it, which refutes the position that his criticisms rely on anecdotal experience of a limited sub-set (namely, several New York schools).
Namaste. |
