The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto is an amazing book.

Gatto, a former award-winning school teacher, gives the true story of the origins of the American school system. The truth is shocking.

I found it to be an absolutely fascinating read, and it only confirmed that homeschooling was the right choice for our family. It’s long, but totally worth it.

I think everyone should read it — not just homeschoolers, but anyone who cares about the system of education in America.
