Sean reseñó Dumbing us down de John Taylor Gatto
Review of 'Dumbing us down' on 'Goodreads'
3 estrellas
wow. the sort of stuff generally written off as left-wing crank-isms. to the contrary, the final lines of the first essay (delivered, of all things, as a speech at acceptance of the NY State Teacher of the Year award 1991!):
"School is a twelve-year jail sentence where bad habits are the only curriculum truly learned. I teach school and win awards doing it. I should know."
The preceding essay is structured around the "Seven lessons universally taught" - Confusion, class position, indifference, emotional dependency, intellectual dependency, provisional self-esteem, and one can't hide.
