Episode Synopsis

We don't need no education?  This episode explores the transformative ideas of three influential late 20th-century educational theorists. Each began with a flourishing career in teaching but ultimately left the classroom behind, driven by a growing disenchantment with the educational system. Their collective experiences culminated in an incisive critique of conventional schooling, sparking calls in some quarters for comprehensive educational reform. But compelling as their arguments were, did they achieve any enduring impact on the landscape of education? 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:02 - Introducing Critics of Schools 00:09:09 - Ivan Illich (1926-2002) 00:28:47 - John Taylor Gatto (1935-2018) 00:42:59 - John Holt (1923-1985) 01:00:08 - Summing up The Blog that started it all: https://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/2021/09/these-were-written-as-quick-readable.html Illich bit.ly/2yacZKs Gatto bit.ly/34zStPx Holt bit.ly/3zzkHrp Contact Donald X: @DonaldClark LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donald-clark-04553022/ Blog: http://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/ Contact John Helmer X: @johnhelmer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhelmer/ Website: https://learninghackpodcast.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LearningHack/
