Background
John Taylor Gatto is an American author and former school teacher with nearly 30 years of experience in the classroom. He devoted much of his energy to his teaching career and authored several books on modern education, criticizing its ideology, history, and consequences. After reading Gatto’s writings, we were motivated by his ideas and call to action for change. |
Objective
Our response to his work manifested in the creation of a website, the7lessonteacher.com, and corresponding posters promoting Gatto’s ideas. We chose to highlight Gatto’s essay “The 7 Lesson Schoolteacher” as a gateway to his larger body of works. We launched the site and hung the posters on the last day of school in NYC – a fitting time for this message. We hope in reading Gattos’ writing, people will rethink what school is and what it should be. |
