One of my favorite education critics, John Tayor Gatto. From “Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling”:
“School, as it was built, is an essential support system for a model of social engineering that condemns most people to be subordinate stones in a pyramid that narrows as it ascends to a terminal of control. School is an artifice that makes such a pyrimidical social order seem inevitable, even though such a premise is a fundamental betrayal of the American Revolution.” (p.13)
I also highly recommend:
“The Underground History of American Education” (John Taylor Gatto)
