Back to school time!

It's 'Back to School' time! This episode cites the words of author and teacher John Taylor Gatto as he provides readers with the troubling lessons that he teaches children as dictated by the US education system. In Taylor Gatto's own words: The first lesson I teach is confusion.  The second lesson I teach is class position. The third lesson I teach is indifference. The fourth lesson I teach is emotional dependency. The fifth lesson I teach is intellectual dependency. The sixth lesson I teach is provisional self-esteem. The seventh lesson I teach is that you can’t hide. "Schools teach exactly what they are meant to teach and they do it well — how to be a good Egyptian and know your place in the pyramid." —John Taylor Gatto Resources: Educating our Children podcast episode Aug 30, 2022: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rachelle-lamb/episodes/Educating-our-Children-e1n4mrs A Few Lessons They Won't Forget: The Disgrace of Modern Schooling by John Taylor Gatto: https://www.thesunmagazine.org/issues/186/a-few-lessons-they-wont-forget Books by John Taylor-Gatto: https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-Taylor-Gatto/author/B001K7S0AE?
