Dumbing Us Down
The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
by John Taylor Gatto
|
|
In this tenth-anniversary edition, Gatto updates his theories on how the U.S. educational system cranks out students the way Detroit cranks out Buicks. He contends that students are more programmed to conform to economic and social norms rather than really taught to think.

This delightful book by the influential author of How Children Fail and How Children Learn shows how children learn to read, write, and count in their everyday life at home and how adults can respect and encourage this wonderful process.

We find comfort among those who agree with us
- growth among those who don't.

- Alabama Independent Homeschoolers (ALINDHS) - This email list is for those in Alabama whose home/family church sponsors the church school through which they home educate their children. Many of us refer to this as "being our own covering." Those and only those, who have already begun such a venture are invited to subscribe this list.
For discussion of the possibility of church school sponsorship by a home or family church, one should consult other sources.
For church schools offering enrollment to more than approximately 10 families, regardless whether sponsored by a home/family church or not, other lists, such as DACS - Directors of Alabama Church Schools, will better address their situation.
