  10. Subject:      what schools are for
  11. Lines: 26

  13. Greg Kirschner made the following observation some
  14. time back regarding what schools are for:
  15.  
  16. "... so what their experience
  17. in school is like will influence how children feel about their government,
  18. in the future, and how they feel about themselves."
  19.  
  20. Greg might be on to something here.  Schools do serve
  21. an assimulation function while representing, in some
  22. ways, that to which they assimilate children.  What
  23. impact does the experience of schooling have on a child's
  24. view of public institutions?  I'm not referring to
  25. critiques such as Bowles and Gintis regarding the
  26. construction of personality, character, relationship
  27. to and definition of authority, and the like.  Although
  28. that may be part of it.  I thinkl I'm asking a more simple
  29. question.
