Against School.

I have read Against School by John Taylor Gatto. It is about the education system and how the kids need to be taught in different ways to stimulate them to learn. Not the same boring subjects that they are taught everyday in a boring fashion. To Gatto, school buildings are like prisons. Forcing children in a institutionalized environment where they dare not go astray.
He writes how many well known people like Edison, Rockefeller, and Carnegie are unschooled but they are not uneducated. How many people throughout American history did not go to high school, but they were admirals, inventors, and captains of industries.
In the ending of the writing Gatto suggest that we encourage children to take on the serious material. Also, learn to like your own company. You don't have to be with other people all the time.
Gatto says in the last line that we should manage ourselves. Letting the people manage themselves would let them explore what they are interested in. Not what others may think someone needs to know. Who knows how the world would be if that was the way it was?
