Yes,a huge and delicious book!
Absolutely-he solidifies it for those still in the 'theory camp'.
But....he does not need to even go there,b/c the evidence speaks for itself. So it's an 'everyone can read it' kinda book recommendation,which makes my life easier!!! [Although,with the size of it,I have had some people look at me and to that I say 'He has a website-you can just read a few chapters! No worries,mate.']
Interestingly though-in one of the unschooling forums i've been on,there is alot of talk about our 'book worship culture' and how many other ways one can and does learn. I never thought about that being a deficit until it was worded just so.

Yep,agreed. I mentioned that in one of my reply posts,but forgot to in the OP> i will change it to include this.
BTW: Taylor's book goes even further than charlotte's. I'm not kidding.

True,while the factory system has given way to collaborative,gatto discusses the demise of genuine academic learning,and a need for society to keep all individuals,including adults,as childish as possible,to maintain social order via the subconscious. As well,the difference is between schooling and education. school as a concept is flawed and was designed as such. technology vs. factory is in this regard irrelevant. It is all the same system of social engineering.
schooling is meant to keep things as abstract as possible,and that includes the use of technology. By keeping what is learned abstract,children never apply it to life,and therefore remain stunted in what they are able to do,until well past college.
They [those implementing this form of social engineering]have to keep a balance,though,and will make it seem as though they have yielded to demands to use technology,as though the people have chosen it for themselves.
I really recommend that every person at least check out gatto's chapters-he outlines very clearly how schooling was designed and has been used as the easiest,most effective,least resistant form of social control to engineer the loss of liberty. The scope of his research is staggering-our education system was taken directly from Prussia. What he discusses in such depth boggles the mind,and he quotes extensively about the founding fathers and other philosophers.
He would say we do not need a model or vision for a 'student'-It is these programs that have interfered with true learning.
He also says that genius is common as dirt.
I know that from this campaign-how many inspired,amazing people are involved in this-such as yourself! Thanks.
