Schools also play an important role in the construction of a democratic society. Today 's student is a citizen of tomorrow. Schools are the foundation of society, children interact with other children and acquire certain social skills.

In John Taylor Gatto's "School: How Does Public Education Affect Our Children, and Why?" He calls the school "childish virtual factory". Mr. Gut said HL Menken said that "the purpose of public school is" to fill youth with species, not to use knowledge to awaken wisdom. " Individuals are lowered to the same level of safety, nurturing and cultivating standardized citizens, reducing objections and creativity. "

Articles to schools are very interesting articles, or it may lead to major discussions and attention to the current US public school system. Born in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, John Taylor Gut is a retired American school teacher with nearly 30 years of experience in school system. Gatto has won many awards, including the New York City Teacher Award in 1989, 1990 and the 1991 New York State Teacher Prize in 1991. He is persuasive compulsory education, a book on education.

John Taylor Gut's "School Opposition" depicts a very pathological depiction of the American school system. Gatto's explanation about the school system sounds more like an explanation of a prison or sweet shop than a school. He insists that the school is not a place for children to learn, grow and prosper. Instead, he thinks schools are aiming to repress children; they lose their human nature, limit their growth and become adults. Some of Gato's criticisms are fair. He thinks boring one of the main problems of the school system, whether it is a student or a teacher. According to his personal experience, he did not want to go there, not to mention the teaching materials they taught, and this unfunny thing also flowed to the students. Gut believes that I believe that this phenomenon is closer to robotics and inhumanization than student learning and growth.
