John Taylor Gatto

“Work in classrooms isn’t significant work; it fails to satisfy real needs pressing on the individual; it doesn’t answer real questions experience raises in the young mind; it doesn’t contribute to solving any problem encountered in actual life. The net effect of making all schoolwork external to individual longings, experiences, questions, and problems is to render the victim listless.”

John Taylor Gatto, The Underground History of American Education: An Intimate Investigation Into the Prison of Modern Schooling
