Weapons of Mass Instruction: A Schoolteacher's Journey Through the Dark World of Compulsory Schooling cormac mccarthy pathos and ethosJohn Taylor Gattos Weapons of Mass Instruction, focuses on mechanisms of traditional education that cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote memorization drills.
