OT - From the article:

Teachers should be adults over 40, Gatto argues, “people who’ve proven themselves at life by bearing its pain like free spirits. ... No one who hasn’t known grief, challenge, success, failure, or sadness should be allowed anywhere near kids. . .

I have thought this too. Recently graduated young teachers still have heads full of mush that their lack of real world experience has yet to drive from them. Of course, they transmit these things both consciously and unconsciously to kids who are even more impressionable than they.
