I think he is just bitter about how he was treated. Yes school systems are not perfect. Could there be a better way of going about the whole entire learning system? Maybe I don't know. I don't think we will ever know. It takes a lot of money and energy to try something completely new. With the spending the government already does on schools I don't see anything better or new ahead for the future.

I'm against school. I don't want to be learned.
John Taylor Gatto's work of Against School is exactly as the title says. It is funny to hear a bitter person about loosing a job rant about how much the school system stinks. I'm not saying I disagree with him but, the way he comes off its annoying to me. There is a difference between complaining with solutions and just whining. His second line shows the perfect tone which is to follow this piece of work. "I became an expert in boredom." He continues in a paragraph or two later about how he lost his job.

You could not be more right! Who in their right mine mentions that they've lost thier teaching credentials in an essay thats all about education. I agree he seems totally bitter and in my opinion not a good writer.
