Dumbing Us Down

In this thought-provoking audiobook, John Gatto, a veteran New York City teacher, examines the limitations of compulsory schooling, arguing that it primarily conditions young people to obey rather than think independently. Comprised of essays and speeches, this collection articulates Gatto's insights on education and his innovative approach to "guerrilla teaching." With over 100,000 copies sold since its release in 2002, the work has resonated widely, sparking discussions on the true purpose of education.
