Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Taylor Gatto, Thomas Moore

4.0

If you want to know a lot of reasons (but not all) why I want to homeschool my kids, then read at least the first chapter of this book. I agree with a lot of what he has to say about the public education system; however, take it with a grain of salt cuz he is a bit overly negative and does over generalize here and there. Overall, his ideas are definitely worth considering. I don't think we could ever reform modern day schooling to be more of a complete education; therefore, I'm homeschooling because that best fits me and my family. But I know that most parents out there are doing their best to raise their children in a responsible and loving way, and that's what matters. It's just too bad what path the world is going down.
