50 COLLECTIVE YEARS OF HOMESCHOOL WISDOM - Leaving a Legacy...... 7:45 - 8:45 - John Taylor Gatto - Take Back your Education – The essential moving parts of an education are quite different from those required by a school. As formal schooling has evolved, the typical classroom is structurally unable to provide an education. Concentration, imagination, association, expression, organization, information, and similar qualities are the targets to aim for, not the memorization of “right” answers.
