The Underground History of American Education

This integral book demonstrates one’s propensity to become blinded and molded by educational conditions. Tracing the philosophical and sociological roots of our system of compulsory education back to the Prussian elitists, the German psychologists, the industrial financiers, and the modern educationists, Gatto masterfully exposes some of the most fundamental factors that shape schooling today. Documentation is extensive and impressive. Softcover. 410 pages.
