Against School by John Taylor Gatto

Against School by John Taylor Gatto was started of very interesting by saying that it was every was fault that the school was full of boredom. Both the teachers and the students argued about the school being school. The school teachers were boredom because of how the kids act and only interested in their grades. But Gatto actually on and said that there nobody to blame for the boredom but yourself and i would have to agree with that. I usually say that things are boring because i make boring not that is actually boring. Another thing that i actually like was when he mention if 7 class period classes, five days a week, nine months and 12 years of schools is necessary. He mention some importants names of presidents and or important from our country that didnt need that much teaching as you would get at a public school. Gatto talk about this guy name Inglis that broke down the purpose of the modern schooling into six basic functions. And this six basic functions is the purpose of the mandatory public education. This was very put my Gatto and learn lot about what he thought about what he thought about the school system.
