Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto

I mentioned Dumbing Us Down because it’s one of those books that makes you step back and really think about what modern schooling trains us to believe about learning. It pairs so well with the idea of deschooling, because it helps explain why so many of us (and our kids) need a mindset reset when we start homeschooling or when we feel stuck.
