The Hidden History of American Education tells the story of the school system in the United States from its very beginnings to the present day. The author, John Taylor Gatto, analyses various periods and philosophical movements in education and in American (and partly world) history in an extremely thorough manner, as all processes in society are closely interconnected. He exposes the problems of modern education and shows how, when, and why they arose. All of Mr Gatto's statements are supported by numerous facts from his own experience, the experience of his students and colleagues, as well as historical examples.
