À propos de cet audio
John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills. Gatto's earlier book, Dumbing Us Down, introduced the now-famous expression of the title into the common vernacular. Weapons of Mass Instruction adds another chilling metaphor to the brief against conventional schooling.
Gatto demonstrates that the harm school inflicts is rational and deliberate. The real function of pedagogy, he argues, is to render the common population manageable. To that end, young people must be conditioned to rely upon experts, to remain divided from natural alliances and to accept disconnections from their own lived experiences. They must at all costs be discouraged from developing self-reliance and independence.
Escaping this trap requires a strategy Gatto calls "open source learning" which imposes no artificial divisions between learning and life. Through this alternative approach our children can avoid being indoctrinated-only then can they achieve self-knowledge, good judgment, and courage.

The Hidden Messages in Water is an eye-opening theory about how water is deeply connected to people's individual and collective consciousness. Drawing from his own discoveries, scientific researcher, healer, and popular lecturer Dr. Masaru Emoto describes the ability of water to absorb, hold, and even retransmit human feelings and emotions. Using high-speed photography, he found that crystals formed in ice reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward it.

Histoire
Norah Vincent became an instant media sensation with the publication of Self-Made Man, her take on just how hard it is to be a man, even in a man’s world. Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin (Black Like Me), Vincent spent a year and a half disguised as her male alter ego, Ned, exploring what men are like when women aren’t around. As Ned, she joined a bowling team, took a high-octane sales job, went on dates with women (and men), visited strip clubs, and even managed to infiltrate a monastery and a men’s therapy group.

Many homeschool parents have a long-term relationship with self-doubt. "Did I make the right decision?" "Could someone else do this better?" "Am I robbing my kids of something by not sending them to 'regular school'?" What if there's a better way? Not a three-step technique or a shiny, new curriculum but a change in perspective that transforms the way you plan, teach, and homeschool?

Life-changing book
I am an educator and administrator of 20+ years.I always felt dissatisfied with schools but not until I listened to this book did I begin to understand my own feelings. I have already begun to sabotage my own practice. I think it’s only a matter of time before I am either unable or will be deemed unfit to participate in a school setting.

Should be required reading for teachers/parents!
As I embark into yr 2 of homeschooling this book solidifies sooo many reason why it's the best choice for us. Please read it, expand your mind, think critically. I was kind of surprised to hear mentions of Bills Gates and the NWO but then again not really.. these plans have been in the works long before I ever took my first breath. I recommend listening to it, the performance was 👌 I could listen to him all day! Enjoy breaking free of societies boot.

If you have kids of any age this is a must listen.
If you want to produce happy, self sufficient children, brimming with creativity, a zest for learning and deep critical thinking skills - the last place they should be sent is to school. The book details the rise and ruins of modern compulsory education which from its outset was designed to manufacture unthinking, unquestioning, cogs in the wheel of consumerism. These institutions are not educational, they are training grounds designed to create obedient employees. There's a huge difference between education and indoctrination and unfortunately modern schooling only involves the latter. Only you have your children's best interests at heart which makes it your responsibility to fix.

Education and school are 2 different worlds
Our most achieved people in the world are, for the most part, dropouts. Get smarter, not schooled. The school mold has never been for me. So I can relate to this book a whole lot. I’m not the smartest nor the dumbest, I managed to score 137 on a IQ test, but I don’t believe that test was even close to being a good reflection of intelligence itself. This book is for everyone, really.
