Education's Not the Point: Why Schools Fail to Train Children's Minds and Nurture Their Characters

These essays are a "must read" for parents concerned about their children's education. John Taylor Gatto gives some insights into the "dumbed-down" nature of modern schools, the men behind modern schooling, and why the schools are not designed to provide an "education" for our children. Dorothy Sayers concisely and humorously describes the kind of education schoolchildren should receive, so that they can think for themselves, read original sources, and formulate their own ideas. Elizabeth Hanson speaks to the traditional wisdom of delaying formal education in favor of a "heart" education, so children do not suffer from the kind of anxiety, depression and learning disorders that have become so prevalent in the post-modern world.
