The way that education is discussed in society; is there the assumption that the school system has the power to change the lives of people? If yes, that is the perception of relative autonomy.
Schools operate through power. Schools reproduce the same thing over and over. American dream that if you work hard in school you will escape your limits. If you haven’t succeeded, you haven’t used the opportunity available to you. Schools are a meritocracy and autonomous?
Bordieu only talking about cognition- “understand” p. 176 we have seen… - The school and the society has a history where AA came from slavery. The deficincy of their habitus perpetuates. Not only fryers and monks that wear habits. We perform our habitus. “be good, do as you are told.” Discipline is the modality of survival in the inner city. Teach your child respect, obey authority. Disabling values in the upper west side.
Most intelligent, sensitive people will want to do something about it. Gifted is a child who was given something more.
Superclass- analogy power elite are now global, 6000 people strong.
Distribution of wealth is polarized. Those with a combined burden of poverty and race are twice challenged.
Change the way the child is educated in the school. Education is more than pedagogy. Describe schools in their totality- relate all of the past and present characteristics of social relations. Must address all of the other conditions in the ecology.
Sen- Development as Freedom. – under developed world. Economic and human need needs to be increased.
We all understand that we have been privileged to get where we are now. Are we contained in a panoptic society.
