According to Gatto we believe: We have been taught (that is,
schooled) in this country to think of "success" as synonymous with,
or at least dependent upon, "schooling," but historically that isn't
true in either an intellectual or a financial sense.
1: I don't mean education, just forced schooling: six classes a day, five days a week, nine months a year, for twelve years. Is this deadly routine really necessary?
2. School trains children to be employees and consumers
3. School trains children to obey reflexively
4. The aim.. . is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality.
5.First, though, we must wake up to what our schools really are: laboratories of experimentation on young minds, drill centers for the habits and attitudes that corporate society demands.
The purpose of education should be to encourage and developed the individual talents of each child, in there future career.
