    In “Against School,” John Gatto argues that the main purpose of public schools and the educational system in general is to produce a “manageable” populace. Gatto argues that the current educational system does this by slowly acclimating students into certain habits, confirming students to certain rules, and implementing a certain mindset into students that makes them respond well to authority.

Firstly, schools achieve what Gatto states their purpose is by acclimating students to how factories are organized and what working in a factory is like. Secondary, schools also accomplish Gattos argument by restricting the class choices of students and…

    Most of our school systems revolve around academics and yet, it is extremely poor of what kids need. From Pre-Kindergarten to University, I truthfully believe our school system of education is deeply overvalued. Students like myself aren’t the only ones displeased about the education system, at least one third of mothers and fathers are dissatisfied with standards at local schools and there is no wonder why. If you ask any child, kindergartner or 8th grader what they disliked most about school, they’ll say something along these lines, “I hate the tests.” Students and parents of grade school and even University shouldn 't question their standards and school shouldn’t feel like a knot of stress falling on their shoulders.…
