Different Opinion Of Education

Gatto's Educational Thinking

I start to sometimes wonder if my mentality of thinking is my own judgment. Gatto's essay made people wonder and think about things. he made people wonder are schools really teaching you? do the teachers really want you to be puppets and follow the system. Gatto essay really inform us on things that we wouldn't think about. Like how public schools can be better or worst than private schools and why.

 

My Educational ideas

I started to wonder how his questions would play out but it seemed like to me he always made sense. Gatto teaches us to show expression because the school system doesn't want that. He feels like school is suppose to be full of freedom and all about teaching the students to become adults. I agree with him when he said having barred doors makes the students feel in prison. so "the democratic republic would be in great peril of becoming a police state". "Instead let us go back to teaching critical thought, civic duties (such as understanding the law and informed voting), and educated self-expression". he believes and still believe that school has "more opportunities than ever".
