| <p align="center">The following is quoted from the 1990 "New | |
| York's Teacher of the Year" acceptance speech by John Taylor | |
| Gatto. </p> | |
| <p><font color="#000000">____</font>"We live in a time of | |
| great social crisis. Our children rank at the bottom of nineteen | |
| industrial nations in reading, writing and arithmetic. The | |
| world's narcotic economy is based upon our own consumption of | |
| this commodity. If we didn't buy so many powdered dreams, the | |
| business would collapse-schools are an important outlet for this. | |
| Our teenage suicide rate is the highest in the world-and suicidal | |
| kids are rich kids for the most part, not the poor." </p> | |
| <p><font color="#000000">____</font>"Our school crisis is a | |
| reflection of this greater social crisis. We seem to have lost | |
| our identity. Children and old people are penned up and locked | |
| away from the business of the world without precedent; nobody | |
| talks to them anymore. Without children and old people mixing in | |
| daily life, a community has no future and no past; only a | |
| continuous present. In fact the name "community" hardly | |
| applies to the way we interact with each other. We live in | |
| networks, not communities and everyone I know is lonely because | |
| of that. In some strange way, a school is a major actor in this | |
| tragedy; just as it is a major actor in the widening gulf among | |
| social classes" </p> | |

| <p>After delivering the completed version of this speech Mr. | |
| Gatto then resigned his position as an educator in the New | |
| York State Public Education System. If you care about | |
| anything discussed here, or want to read more, <a | |

| read the entire speech</a>. I feel that Mr. Gatto has an | |
| important message that needs to be heard. </p> | |

| <p>The Tech Voodoo Crew (who is not affiliated with this hack) | |

| message. Finally, greetings to all those who have inspired me, | |
| and to all those whom I respect, you know who you are.</p> | |
