Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
by John Taylor Gatto

Book Description (from the publisher)
Written in the first months after John Taylor Gatto left schoolteaching, this book has attained the status of an underground classic, remaining in print, with 150,000 copies sold, for ten years. A hard-hitting reflection on the significance of schools and schoolteaching, the difference between networks and communities, and what lies at the heart of being congregationally American as opposed to corporatively American. 

As of April 2002: The publisher has replaced the original edition with a 10th Anniversary Second Edition. The new version, in addition to a new cover; has a foreword by Thomas Moore (Care of the Soul); a new introduction by the book's original publisher, David Albert; and a completely new essay by John entitled, Afterward: Ten Years Later. The new book has about 20% more text than the first edition and the original version is now no longer in print.
