OK, interesting . . .

I wasn't aware of John Taylor Gatto but after having looked at this link, I do agree with some of what he says. The public education system, I have believed for a long time, could do with a serious, fundamental re-think. There's a lot that needs fixing. However I'm not sure that the answer for most is home schooling. How would he expect parents to be able to do this anyway, if they have to work? Also, I think the schools in the UK at least are not quite as institutionalised as US schools are portrayed. It's actually my job to try to get kids to use their brains and to think independently. But this really isn't the thread to be discussing this. We can do it elsewhere if you like.

I watched a bit of one of the Wilcock vids. Very entertaining. Way out there.

You're not a creationist too are you?
