Good Afternoon..We have arrived to the end of J.T. Gatto's seminal work, 'The Underground History Of American Education'. I do not remember reading a more truthful book in my library, then this one. Gatto highlights perhaps the most effective tool of the controllers like few others have. He tells the reader many truths, without actually spelling it out. As our situation plays out all over the planet, he makes it clear at least to me that the reason we are up against the wall, and constantly asking ourselves...' Why are they doing this?'. The sad truth is, they don't know what to do with us, because they are out of touch with reality, and simply because they are not leaders, not only are they going to lose control, but they revert back to primitive thinking as far as survival goes and in truth are afraid to le left behind if they give up control of the social order....

..Let me end this book, my testament, with a warning: only the fresh air from millions upon millions of freely made choices will create the educational climate we need to realize a better destiny. No team of experts can possibly possess the wisdom to impose a successful solution to the problem inherent in a philosophy of centralized social management; solutions that endure are always local, always personal. Universal prescriptions are the problem of modern schooling, academic research which pursues the will-o-the-wisp of average children and average stages of development makes for destructive social policy, it is a sea anchor dragging against advancement, creating the problems it begs for money to solve. But here is a warning: should we ever agree to honor the singularity of children which forced schooling contravenes, if we ever agree to set the minds of children free, we should understand they would make a world that would create and re-create itself exponentially, a world complex beyond the power of any group of managers to manage. Such free beings would have to be self-managing. And the future would never again be easily predictable.
