By putting our differences and snobberies under a microscope, this book explains many facts about us as a nation, exploring the development of language and our behaviour.
Did you know that the court of Richard II spoke in broad Yorkshire? Why don’t we speak like we did 40 years ago? Why is one perceived to be richer, taller – and more attractive – if one speaks the Queen’s English? A Plum in Your Mouth takes an astonishing look at accents and the volumes they speak.

John Taylor Gatto – The Underground History of American Education (2000) [41 Radiorips (MP3)]|Size:660.56 MB

 The Underground History of American Education: A Schoolteacher’s Intimate Investigation Into the Problem of Modern Schooling is a critique of the U.S. education system by John Taylor Gatto.

Gatto, a former teacher, left the classroom the same year in which he was named New York State Teacher of the Year. He announced his decision in a letter titled “I Quit, I Think”.

Using anecdotes gathered from thirty years of teaching, Gatto presents his view of modern compulsion schooling, describing a “conflict between systems which offer physical safety and certainty at the cost of suppressing free will, and those which offer liberty at the price of constant risk”. Gatto argues that educational strategies promoted by government and industry leaders for over a century included the creation of a system that keeps real power in the hands of very few people.
