CLASSROOM IDEOLOGIES: Five contrasting views about education Classrooms are tools of the state designed to foster loyalty & structure how people behave. Each classroom is a market place built to commoditize consciousness & promote wider trade. Classrooms are basically factory production lines geared towards maximum efficiency in the least amount of time. Classrooms are extended sports games in which students learn about teamwork while jockeying for social gain. Perhaps classrooms resemble zoos in which students are systematically caged then placed in selected boxes for public auction & display. Which of these paradigms do you believe? How does each influence what is perceived? Also in what ways is each model incomplete? ===================================================================================== from _Crassroom Voices - Poetry, Art, & Dialogs about Education_ by T Newfields SUMMARY: Some disparate views of educational goals.
