It's a long day. Where I live the kids leave the house at 7 a.m. to get to school and aren't back home until after 4.

I will look up John Taylor Gatto. Thank you!! I also like Neil Postman and Garret Keizer ("Getting Schooled"). Thanks also for the YouTube info, although God knows if I go look up Gatto there I'll fall down a YouTube rabbit hole and never get out! :)
