7. ONE CAN'T HIDE

"The seventh lesson I teach is that one can't hide. I teach children they are always watched, that each is under constant surveillance by myself and my colleagues. There are no private spaces for children, there is no private time. Class change lasts three hundred seconds to keep promiscuous fraternization at low levels. Students are encouraged to tattle on each other or even to tattle on their own parents. Of course, I encourage parents to file their own child's waywardness too. A family trained to snitch on itself isn't likely to conceal any dangerous secrets." - John Gatto

Great, just great.

"What's this?" Social Development Minister David Benson-Pope asked. "State-control of education is failing? That can only mean we need more of it!"

Q: Does the government that seeks to farm us ever consider that pulling the MORE-GOVERNMENT/LESS-GOVERNMENT lever to the high-power-for-Helengrad setting is the problem, not the solution?

A: Nope! More government is their ownly solution! Less government is their only problem.

And now, unless somebody does something, The Government is going to see that we don't mind them going ahead with this outrage and many others the same.


John Taylor Gatto, "The Seven Lesson Schoolteacher" from Gatto's book, "Dumbing Us Down."
