I found this presentation rather interesting and felt I should share it with those that care to watch it. It is presented far less sensationalized than others I’ve seen.

I was then led to John Gatto’s short clip on the history of american education

For those with more time, J John Gatto also does “The ultimate History lesson”

John Gatto was New York’s teacher of the year multiple times, and resigned while holding the title stating he could no longer contribute to the de-education of children.
