John Taylor Gatto has written four excellent books, and has also published some audio tapes and videos. John has seen that between schooling and television, our children have precious little time to learn for themselves about the community they live in, or the lives they might lead. Instead. they are schooled to merely obey orders and become smoothly functioning cogs in the industrial machine.

Three classics by John Gatto, Dumbing us Down, Exhausted School and A different Kind of Teacher are available from www.johntaylorgatto.com/bookstore/index.htm and also Amazon.com
