Title: A Different Kind of Education
Review: The arguments and claims Gatto makes in "A Different Kind Of Teacher" are very provocative. As a college graduate and parent of a elementary school aged child, I've found his words to be all too true with regard to the US education system. It leaves you dependent on others for everything and with no time to explore and learn things that matter to you.One of our child's grandparents also came across the book on our coffee table and started to read it. After reading it, he proclaimed that he would have home schooled all of his kids if he had read earlier in life. Thank you Gatto for helping us pickup another home school supporter within our family.I really enjoyed this book for the perspective it gives on the education system and the alternatives it suggests. It has strengthened my commitment to home school.
