There are few people in America who truly challenge conventional wisdom and make people question the things they’ve been taught over the years.
John Taylor Gatto started off going through an unconventional career track. He completed undergraduate work at Cornell, Columbia, and University of Pittsburgh.
Gatto later served in the US Army medical corps and subsequently did graduate work at the City University of New York, Hunter College, Yeshiva University, the University of California, and Cornell University.
Following his college studies, Gatto did work in a multitude of different fields. His early career saw him work as a scriptwriter in the film industry, an advertising writer, a taxi driver, and a jewelry designer.
Over time, he eventually got into teaching, which became his true calling.
To say that Gatto was a great teacher would be an understatement. His exemplary work was recognized by New York education authorities.
Gatto received the New York City Teacher of the Year award in 1989,1990, and 1991.
His career looked like it was on an enviable trajectory… until later in 1991. At that point, he decided to do the unthinkable.
In a piece for the Wall Street Journal, he startled readers with his title “I Quit, I Think.” From there, he announced his retirement from teaching on the grounds that he was no longer willing to hurt children.
As a teacher, it dawned upon Gatto that the modern education system serves the interests of bad teachers and administrators.
He realized that public schools churn out obedient citizens who can’t engage in critical thinking. These are the perfect cogs for mega corporations.
When Gatto retired from teaching, new avenues opened for him. Gatto’s work was highly coveted by libertarians and other free-market oriented people.
With time, Gatto’s most prominent works such as Weapons of Mass Instruction and Dumbing Us Down became staples of the growing alternative schooling movement in America.
Although Gatto died in 2018, his contrarian approach to education is alive and well.
At the end of the day, education goes well beyond the classroom. Any serious person who wants to be successful is constantly educating themselves and expanding their knowledge base.
The current education model breeds complacency and conformity. That’s why so many people end up stuck in the education to corporate America pipeline. They end up slaving away at a job they hate.
The education system is designed to build reliable cogs in the machine. Plain and simple.
