They hope that the teaching they provide is a joyful adventure, a celebration of life, and preparation for living. But sadly, most education today falls short of this goal.

John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills.

Weapons of Mass Instruction adds another chilling metaphor to the brief against conventional schooling.

No one knows this better than Betsy DeVos.

Es soll vielmehr zu einer angenehm "hündischen" Familienunterhaltung beitragen. Daher ist es für alle Hundefreunde und Freizeit-Kynologen, oder solche, die es werden wollen, gedacht.
