John Taylor Gatto audio

For those of you who are homeschoolers (and those of you who aren't!), I discovered a treasure trove of downloadable John Taylor Gatto audio.  Gatto was a New York City and New York State Teacher of the Year, during a career in which he engaged in (as he puts it) "sabotage" against the system on behalf of his students.  In part, he provided official cover for them to escape school and pursue their own goals.  The year he won the New York State award, he quit--  publicly, on the pages of the Wall Street Journal. (This page includes the op-ed / resignation letter.)

I particularly recommend The Guerrilla Curriculum and On the Scientific Management of Children.
