Talk:John Taylor Gatto

message: "He worked as a writer and held several odd jobs before borrowing his roommate's license to investigate teaching."
This ambiguous statement (what license and why is it important?) needs to either be rewritten so that I understand why it's relevant or just plain removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.9.45.237 (talk) 13:46, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: He used his roommate's teaching credential (Gatto couldn't legally teach in New York without one), and I think the fact is entirely germane to an article on him -- sorta the point of his essays and lectures.  Although I'm too lazy to find a reference at the moment, the anecdote is in almost every one of his published works. -- egomet_bonmot  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.213.104 (talk) 04:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Questionable relevancy

message: This article says Gatto recieved the Tocqueville award in 1998, but the award site says it went to: David Brennan,and Dr. Michael Joyce
“for bringing the cities of Milwaukee and Cleveland
meaningful school choice.”
Is there more that one award with this name?
:I found the same thing. From the looks of it, Mr. Gatto has never received a Tocqueville award. Perhaps this article should be marked to cite references. 'Kash 01:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Alexis de Tocqueville award

message: I agree with Vsync on this.  I read through Mr. Gatto's own site and he seems to over-romanticize earlier pedagogic ideas.  Also, his boastfulness over the benefits of both corporal punishment and the salons of Athens seem a bit creepy, IMHO.
Surely there must be some valid critics of Gatto's theories floating around on the Net.

thread_title:  Reference 4 link bad 

message: When reading the book, I got the impression that the “class” affiliation referred to herein is socio-economic class (rather than, or maybe in addition to, school class, for example).  But  I do not have a citation for this.  Any opinion on whether that is what he really meant?

message: I support 's removal of of link clutter to make our article more encyclopedic. See [[WP:ELYES, WP:ELNO, wp:LINKFARM. BobFromBrockley (talk) 11:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. I propose that the links we remove are the ones removed in this diff. Which ones of those would you argue should stay? BobFromBrockley (talk) 15:48, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

text: I have recently published my edit. I have deleted most of the links but I have added few new links too. With this edit my aim is both reflecting the main writings of Gatto and showing the appearances of him on different places. I am of course open to edit that place if anyone have better ideas.
