How John Taylor Gatto Exposed the System That's Now Replacing Us John Taylor Gatto didn't just change my view of education—he ripped the veil off the entire machinery of social control. For years, I thought there was something wrong with me for hating school. I was the problem, the "difficult child" who couldn't sit still, couldn't follow orders, couldn't fit into the neat little boxes they had prepared for us. Then I discovered Gatto, and suddenly everything clicked into place. Gatto's work, particularly "The Underground History of American Education," reveals a truth so uncomfortable most people can't stomach it: our education system was never designed to enlighten or empower. It was deliberately modeled after the Prussian system—a method for creating compliant, predictable workers who would function as cogs in a machine. The goal wasn't education; it was indoctrination. Think about it: age-segregated classrooms, bells d...

From New York Union Roots to Global Reality: How Thomas Sowell Helped Reshape My Thinking I didn’t grow up questioning the system. I grew up believing I already understood it. Raised in New York, I was surrounded by working-class culture, union influence, and the language of collective struggle. Some of my earliest memories involve strikes, labor disputes, and that strong sense of “us versus them.” It felt grounded, it felt real, and for a long time it felt right. Like a lot of people from that environment, I leaned heavily to the left. Not in some abstract academic way, but in a lived, cultural sense. You support workers. You question authority. You assume the system is stacked against ordinary people. That framework stayed with me for years. Until I left. Spending extended time in developing countries doesn’t just broaden your horizons, it challenges your assumptions in a way that’s hard to explain unless you’ve lived it. Not the expat bubble version, not the Instagram ve...

Albania isn’t for everyone — and that’s exactly the point 🇦🇱 There’s a surge of people online trying to push Albania as the next expat hotspot. The problem is, a lot of them don’t actually understand the country. They don’t have real Albanian relationships, they live in expat bubbles, and they market a version of Albania that simply doesn’t exist. They try to attract people who are expecting a liberal, Western-style environment — and that disconnect creates problems the moment people arrive. Albania is Eastern Europe. It’s traditional. It’s relationship-based. It’s proud, family-oriented, and socially conservative in ways that a lot of newcomers don’t expect. We don’t just show you the good side — we give you the full picture. At Reborn Abroad Expat Consulting, we talk about Albania based in reality: • How people think and operate • Cultural expectations and social dynamics • What works, what doesn’t, and why • Where foreigners succeed — and where they struggle We’ve been...

AUGUST HIRING WAVE IS COMING 🇻🇳 If you’re serious about teaching English in Vietnam, this is where you either position yourself properly—or end up scrambling later. August is mass hiring season. Schools are filling roles for the new academic year, and the best positions go quickly to people who are already prepared, connected, and ready to move. Most people don’t approach this the right way. They rely on random Facebook posts. They overpay for TEFL courses that don’t help them get better jobs. They get pushed into low-quality schools that are always hiring for a reason. That’s exactly what we help you avoid. At Reborn Abroad, our ESL Employment Consulting is built to give you an advantage before you even land. We don’t just hand you one job—we plug you into a network of employers, so you can actually choose what fits your schedule, income goals, and lifestyle.
