In each of my last two posts, I quoted some of the book. But maybe I
have the wrong URL or something.

Are we talking about http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/underground/prologue.htm

Here is the table of contents:

> Bianca, You Animal, Shut Up!
> I Quit, I Think
> The New Individualism
> School As Religion
> He Was Square Inside And Brown
> The New Dumbness
> Putting Pedagogy To The Question
> Author's Note
> Page - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

I read the first four pages.

Could you refer me to where in the beginning you are talking about?
