John Taylor Gatto spoke about “The Weapons of Mass Instruction” last weekend at HENA's (Home Educators Network of Arizona) homeschooling conference. For those of you who may not know, Mr. Gatto was a public school teacher for over 30 years and even became New York State Teacher of the Year. After winning the award, he quit teaching because he was “tired of hurting kids.”
Mr. Gatto shared stories of how colorful characters like Richard Branson, Diablo Cody (Academy Award winner for the movie Juno) learned real-life lessons far from a school classroom. These experiences helped propel them to real-world success.
I later shared how homeschoolers have a unique opportunity to teach their children real-life lessons which will enable them to take control of their financial life. The Rich Dad Company provides the tools to become financially free.
