RE: Critique on Gatto's interpretation of the 6 functions of secondary education discussed in The Ultimate History lesson: A Weekend With John Taylor Gatto
Hi Paul. Very thorough article. Great work. I have listened to The Ultimate History Lesson twice, and probably should again, since it is jam packed with so many key points.
Welcome to Steemit and I'll be following your work! Cheers
Thanks for taking the time to read the article -- it is pretty dry. Gatto's conclusions about what Inglis wrote would be more appropriately defended if he showing examples of other writers in the field of education using Inglis' words to draw "ominous continuities". Rather, it is Gatto who is drawing these conclusions so, he owns them, and it is fair to ask if they are the results of "innocent construction" or bent to support his preexisting thesis.
