John Taylor Gatto

Weapons of Mass Instruction (eBook, ePUB)

A Schoolteacher's Journey Through the Dark World of Compulsory Schooling

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Expose the hidden mechanisms that turn curious children into compliant workers. John Taylor Gatto's explosive follow-up to Dumbing Us Down reveals the specific techniques schools use to destroy imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as rote memorization rather than creative discovery.



The Weaponization of Education:



This isn't conspiracy theory - it's documented history. Gatto traces how compulsory schooling was deliberately designed by industrialists to create predictable, manageable workers, not independent thinkers or entrepreneurs.



What You'll Uncover:

• Historical evidence of how modern schooling was designed to serve industrial interests
• Psychological manipulation techniques used to break children's natural learning instincts
• The testing industrial complex that profits from keeping children dependent and confused
• Alternative learning models that actually develop human potential and creativity
• Practical steps for protecting your child's intellectual development and natural curiosity

Breaking Free from Educational Control:



Thousands of families have used Gatto's insights to create educational alternatives that honor children's natural genius while preparing them for success in the real world, not just the artificial world of institutional schooling.



Continue your educational freedom journey. If Dumbing Us Down opened your eyes, this book will show you exactly how to fight back against the systematic destruction of human potential.
