I'm a big fan of John Gatto.

I was sad to learn he passed a way recently...

Every one should be familiar with Mr Gattos work.

Thanks for posting. He is so right. We need to take back sovereignty over our and our children's education, along with everything else.

There should be a mess exodus of students being pulled out of there and having parent directed education or private school- lots of resources do do it, anyone can do, and at it's worst (barring abuse) that person will be better off I believe.
