What happened to the old johntaylorgatto.com website?
For over a decade, I directed teacher wannabes to the original site with the suggestion that, at a minimum, they peruse The Underground History of American Education as it appeared online.
As I further informed prospective teachers, having independently researched the subject of education on the graduate and undergraduate level before coming across The Underground History treatise and confirming many of his conclusions, the last thing I wanted was for these novices to be blindsided by an inability to change a false flag system that never was intended to benefit students.
Only a few hours before writing this reply, a college administrator told me about problems her child was having in school. In an effort to help her child, I offered the mother the johntaylorgatto.com website address as well as the title of Gatto’s seminal work.

It’s good to know that there are material about modern methods of teaching. I am a non-professional who has a basic school in Ghana and therefore eager to find ways of changing the traditional method of teaching. Looking forward to read John’s work.

Would you consider putting the old Underground History back up until the new one is available? This is my (by far) most-referred site on the Internet, and it is disconcerting not to have it available to send people there.

Nice work so far on the rework of the site.
Are you planning on restoring the online access to The Underground History of American Education?
It proved to be a good way of introducing people to Mr. Gatto’s work, at least for me.
I really appreciated having access to it in the past and it’s what ultimately led me to buying Mr. Gatto’s books but I understand nothing lasts forever.

Does John have any input into this website? Will the documentary be broader than we see here and be broadcast on television? Will there be a message forum at some point?

I’m very sorry to hear about Mr. Gatto having another stroke (I think this is not his first?) Just hearing about this from this thread. I feel awkward about asking this, except for the word above that his health is improving … has he ever considered doing a regular youtube video-blog? My attitude toward him is, if he think something’s worth talking about, I want to hear it.

He has been bedridden for the last 3 years, as half of his body is paralyzed. He can’t reach the computer without medical assistance. He has been an educational activist for 40+ years laying the groundwork for the next generation.
The real question is: what will his supporters do with his Work?

David,
Thanks for taking on the revamp of John’s website. I’ll certainly be checking it regularly.
I have been a fan of John Taylor Gatto for many years. I seen/heard him speak at Conferences at least 2 times, bought his books and recordings of his speeches. We brought him down to Austin, TX to speak to us some time back. I’ve been fascinated not just by what he has to say, but more specifically about what he did with his 13 and 14 year old students—his Guerrilla Curriculum…so much so, that I edited many of his speeches (cut audio excerpts) and created a site (http://jtgmp3s.com/ )dedicated to his work and directing viewers to http://www.johntaylor.com
I’ve been looking forward to his 4th Purpose Schooling film as well. I found a demo of that was started(?): http://www.nicolefilms.com/work/4thpurpose.html
I would recommend a link to or the demo itself on the new site.
Praying for John’s health, Thanks and God Bless,
Raul Flandes

David,
(So sorry) I just saw a correction needed on my previous message:
“directing viewers to http://www.johntaylor.com”
should be
“directing viewers to http:/www.johntahlorgatto.com”
(this site…….as the other link goes elsewhere I did not intend)
