About this person
John Taylor Gatto taught in American schools for close to 30 years before turning his experience into an indictment. His books - Dumbing Us Down: the Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling and The Underground History of American Education: A Schoolteacher's Intimate Investigation Into the Problem of Modern Schooling - took apart the machinery of compulsory education and made a case for unschooling and homeschooling instead. He died October 25, 2018, at 82, decades after leaving the classroom but never the argument.
