Dear Sir, Yeah! John Gatto! What a soul! I so appreciate his book, "Dumbing us Down." The educational system has been so long geared to serve the interests of big business, that we no longer question the direction it is taking us as human beings. I found a wonderful book on what education could look like, by Vinoba Bhave, who carried on Gandhi's work in a very humble way, travelling on foot for 13 years throughout India, spreading the simple message of caring responsibility for one another, and a new form of education that brought people into meaningful life, ethical life.
The reference for that book, Vinoba (translated by Marjorie Sykes) (2008) Thoughts on Education. Sarva Seva Snag-Prakashan, Varanasi. The copyright holder is Gram Seva Mandal.
On Gandhi Topia, the sister network to this community, is a man named Father Edwin of ncnworld.org you might be interested to see his work, which simultaneously brings about natural environmental and educational reform.
Please post your views on education as you see it, or experienced it in the West, and where it helped and where it failed you in terms of your own ethical life...I think this would be a good topic to discuss with many.
Best,
Aunty Kamala
