What and who schooling is for and how this is made
apparent in the school are large questions which have critical per-

clear that acceptable

professional concerns cover a
wide
spectrum
What

have already had is to a large extent beyond the control of the course,
and yet it is vital that the students’ understanding is clear and
so far as possible its bases acknowledged. In the following extracts
concerning education and work different interests are apparent.

I think it’s very interesting how you prepare
kids for work - even for an interview say
- whether
you tell them anything -
sometimes
they have no idea.

It would be
interesting to combine that with
how the VI fori
is changing.
