article written by John Tylor Gatto’s “Against the School,”
In an article written by John Tylor Gatto’s “Against the School,” he was trying to argue the education system of school that draws students away from such important values as understanding, endurance, and curiosity, rather than encouraging students to pursue these worth. While he was teaching in twenty six years, Gatto realize that the education system can turn into a child habit, to made the society more productive than others. To validate his point, he presents three purpose of efficient education in the U.s.a , and the exact goals of the education system adopted by America. In line with these goals, the common purpose is for the child to be in subjection to the authorities, to make the children equal, to use them as a source of labor, and to “manage” them and “unconscious users”. Finally, people are warned to avoid “ learning tricks and traps ” and to warn children that their “ self-administration ” will enable them to be curious, adventurous and thoughtful. People tend to think that public education is a success for a child, but it narrows the thinking and weakens creativity by standardizing it.
