Uploaded by: oldthinkernews
Video Description:
In this 1991 interview, former school teacher John Taylor Gatto talks about the difference between "schooling" through public schools and true education. What really matters? Does "Schooling" as we know it today create whole human beings?
I hope that you find this interview as inspiring and informative as I did.

We, in Western society at least, are taught only to find a way to make more and more money. To serve authority. To "open" more doors to "better" jobs and bosses.
Well, I say, "fuck 'em!".

This man has just conveyed within minutes what I have been experiencing for years: cold, isolated, controlled "schooling" in place of true education. As a sophomore in high school and victim to this cruel system, I only wish that the rest of society would open their eyes to this.

Windysmoke,
I know how you feel. I went through the "system" as well, but don't be discouraged. Continue to educate yourself outside of school, that's where you'll do real learning. If you haven't yet, read John Taylor Gatto's books. Maybe start with one of his shorter ones, like Dumbing us Down. I think it will help make sense of why you experience certain things in the public school system and realize it's not just you.
Stand strong and don't let it beat you.

Exactly! Good to hear another who knows what to do. Kind of like an entrepraneur. But it doesn't have to be in the same sense.
Hell, just live life by your terms.
