Weapons of Mass Instruction
A Schoolteacher's Journey Through the Dark World of Compulsory Schooling
John Taylor Gatto
Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto exposes the mechanisms of schooling that stifle creativity and hinder critical thinking, while exploring the harmful political theories that support it. Gatto's passionate storytelling and examples highlight the consequences of relying on credentials rather than true education. Gatto argues for a new approach to learning, called "open source learning," which encourages self-reliance and independence. This book is a must-read for anyone navigating through the traditional school system.
