John Taylor Gatto is indeed entitled to his own opinion the same as I am. Gatto is an idiot. There is always room for improvement in our school system, but I do not agree with him when he says our schools are boring and childish. What would he prefer? A country full of uneducated people? Gatto did have a lot of sources and his storty was better upheld than Moore's in "Idiot Nation". It just frustrates me that these writers all look at the bad in everything they see and tear it down. Why not work on making things better if you think you have a better idea?
I did enjoy reading Mike Rose's "I just wanna be average". Jack MacFarland reminded me of a teacher I once had. It is amazing how just one person can change and help you so much.

I also wish these authors would have included more helpful information or suggestions to improve the system. I wonder if they omitted any suggestions because they don't have any, or if they didn't make any useful suggestions becasue they believe the system is to big and broken to fix or improve.
