En hier de 6 ware functies van dat type onderwijs.
Gatto spreekt hierover na 4 uur en 50 minuten in de video. Ik kon dit artikel erover vinden waar de principes staan uitgeschreven.

6 basic functions of school
1) The adjustive or adaptive function.
Schools are to establish fixed habits of reaction to authority. This, of course, precludes critical judgment completely. It also pretty much destroys the idea that useful or interesting material should be taught, because you can’t test for reflexive obedience until you know whether you can make kids learn, and do, foolish and boring things.
2) The integrating function.
This might well be called “the conformity function,” because its intention is to make children as alike as possible. People who conform are predictable, and this is of great use to those who wish to harness and manipulate a large labor force.
3) The diagnostic and directive function.
School is meant to determine each student’s proper social role. This is done by logging evidence mathematically and anecdotally on cumulative records. As in “your permanent record.” Yes, you do have one.
4) The differentiating function.
Once their social role has been “diagnosed,” children are to be sorted by role and trained only so far as their destination in the social machine merits – and not one step further. So much for making kids their personal best.
5) The selective function.
This refers not to human choice at all but to Darwin’s theory of natural selection as applied to what he called “the favored races.” In short, the idea is to help things along by consciously attempting to improve the breeding stock. Schools are meant to tag the unfit – with poor grades, remedial placement, and other punishments – clearly enough that their peers will accept them as inferior and effectively bar them from the reproductive sweepstakes. That’s what all those little humiliations from first grade onward were intended to do: wash the dirt down the drain.
6) The propaedeutic function.
The societal system implied by these rules will require an elite group of caretakers. To that end, a small fraction of the kids will quietly be taught how to manage this continuing project, how to watch over and control a population deliberately dumbed down and declawed in order that government might proceed unchallenged and corporations might never want for obedient labor.

(Gelukkig had ik 'em al gezien ;) )
Overigens heeft John niet lang na dat het interview is afgenomen een hersenbloeding gehad. Hij is herstellende, maar nog verre van in orde.
Onderwijs is noodzaak, onderwijs zal moeten gaan doen waar het in wezen toe in staat is.
Zoals ook banken noodzaak zijn. Allemaal niet in de huidige vorm, maar wel zoiets als....
Ik zou de nuance aan willen brengen dat niet onderwijs, maar educatie noodzakelijk is. Zelf educatie of autodidactiek is in mijn ogen essentieel, iets wat het onderwijs systeem feillos weet te onderdrukken...
Maar alternatieven, zoals thuisscholing,is helaas voor ons praktisch niet haalbaar. Financien is hierbij een mega belangrijke factor. Dus zo zie je maar dat het systeem "je" mooi in de tang heeft...
@merethan
De 5 uur van John zijn eigenlijk slechts het begin. Hij noemt zo gigantisch veel zaken op in het interview, dat je daarna heeeeeel vel te leren hebt. De voetnoten op tragedyandhope.com zijn hierbij een ultiem handvat.
Het boek van Carroll Quigley, tragedy and hope, is een mooie start. Uitermate spijtig dat dit in het Engels is, waardoor het voor veel Nedrlanders ontoegankelijk is...
