		<description><![CDATA[By John Taylor Gatto

&#8220;As the twenty-first century begins its second decade, mass schooling is much as it was in 1910, at least for the poor and the ordinary. It is test-driven, bell-driven, pedagogue-dominated, and thoroughly dumbed down.&#8221; 

Let me give you an excerpt from a boys&#8217; manual of instructions on how to build things, published [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m 13 and have been home-schooled for eight years. I think people need to know more about home schooling because of the unfounded stereotypes that seem to label every child who is home-schooled.
