Teachers must ditch 'neuromyth' of learning styles, say scientists
It would be more helpful to ditch the &#x27;myth&#x27; that age-segregated classrooms are an improvement over the one-room school house.<p>It used to be that education was something people did for themselves. Parents or a teacher would help children learn what they wanted to learn, when they were ready to learn it. Modern schooling forces children to learn on the teacher&#x27;s schedule.<p>John Taylor Gatto wrote extensively of the corrupt nature of institutionalized schooling 15-20 years ago. I guess it&#x27;s not polite to point out that the system is rigged against children, so Mr. Gatto&#x27;s insights into more effective teaching have been successfully ignored in recent years.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;John_Taylor_Gatto#Main_thesis" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;John_Taylor_Gatto#Main_thesis</a><p>&quot;Against School: How Public Education Cripples our Kids, and Why&quot; - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wesjones.com&#x2F;gatto1.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wesjones.com&#x2F;gatto1.htm</a><p>Archive.org should have the complete text of &quot;The Underground History of American Education&quot;, which was formerly posted in its entirety at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.JohnTaylorGatto.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.JohnTaylorGatto.com</a><p>Also search for &quot;I quit, I think&quot;, and ... &quot;The Seven Lesson Schoolteacher&quot;... several copies of these essays are scattered around the internet.
