Synopsis
Throw off the shackles of formal schooling and embark upon a rich journey of self-directed, life-long learning. After over 100 years of mandatory schooling in the U.S., literacy rates have dropped, families are fragmented, learning "disabilities" are skyrocketing, and children and youth are increasingly disaffected. Thirty years of teaching in the public school system led John Taylor Gatto to the sad conclusion that compulsory governmental schooling is to blame, accomplishing little but to teach young people to follow orders like cogs in an industrial machine. He became a fierce advocate of families and young people taking back education and learning, arguing that "genius is as common as dirt," but that conventional schooling is driving out the natural curiosity and problem-solving skills we're born with, replacing it with rule-following, fragmented time, and disillusionment. Gatto's radical treatise on public education, a New Society Publishers bestseller for 25 years, continues to bang the drum for an unshackling of children and learning from formal schooling. Now, in an ever-more-rapidly changing world with an explosion of alternative routes to learning, it's poised to continue to shake the world of institutional education for many more years. Featuring a new foreword from Zachary Slayback, an Ivy League dropout and cofounder of tech start-up career foundry Praxis, this 25th anniversary edition will inspire new generations of parents and students to take control of learning and kickstart an empowered society of self-directed lifetime-learners. John Taylor Gatto has been a fierce advocate for self-directed "guerrilla" education for decades. He is also the author of Weapons of Mass Instruction and The Underground History of American Education ., Transform your child's education from institutional compliance to intellectual freedom. Former New York State Teacher of the Year John Taylor Gatto reveals how compulsory schooling creates dependent workers instead of independent thinkers, replacing natural curiosity with rule-following conformity. Over 30 years of classroom experience led to his revolutionary discovery: genius is as common as dirt, but conventional education systematically destroys it. Why This Educational Awakening Matters Now: After 100+ years of mandatory schooling, literacy rates have dropped, families are fragmented, and children are increasingly disaffected. This isn't failure - it's the system working exactly as designed to produce compliant workers rather than creative thinkers. What You'll Discover: The hidden curriculum that trains children for industrial compliance instead of critical thinking Step-by-step strategies for transitioning from school-based to self-directed learning How to identify and nurture your child's natural learning style and interests Practical methods for creating engaging educational experiences without formal curriculum Real-world approaches to developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and life skills Community resources and support networks for families choosing educational alternatives 25 Years of Proven Impact: This bestseller has guided over 100,000 families toward educational freedom, with children achieving remarkable academic and personal success through self-directed learning. Zachary Slayback, Ivy League dropout and tech entrepreneur, provides a powerful new foreword demonstrating how Gatto's principles create innovators and leaders. Your child's natural love of learning can't wait for education reform. Start implementing these time-tested strategies immediately to unlock their intellectual potential and creativity. Join thousands of families discovering that education works best when it honors children's innate curiosity., John Taylor Gatto's radical treatise on public education, a bestseller for 25 years, continues to advocate for the unshackling of children and learning from formal schooling.
