The Gatto essays are remarkably concise and convincing. I'm very sympathetic to that critic. relatedly, Ivan Illich "Deschool Society" [0] is another author that wrote in depth on this subject with similar incisive critiques. also, Darren Allen writes on the institutional nature of modern society [1] and the way we are conditioned to become subservient to its structures [2]. all of this begins in elementary school and it's sorting of children into groups. The conditioning of children into being "manageable" components in an institutional indoctrination system is at the heart of how the system perpetuates itself. 0 - http://www.preservenet.com/theory/Illich/Deschooling/intro.html http://www.preservenet.com/theory/Illich/Deschooling/intro.h... 1 - http://expressiveegg.org/2017/05/05/egotism-institution-monomind/ http://expressiveegg.org/2017/05/05/egotism-institution-mono... 2 - http://expressiveegg.org/2016/10/09/5-system-filters/ http://expressiveegg.org/2016/10/09/5-system-filters/
