SS2 ..... I think if you're writing a book about

the aims of education and you do raise the
conception of the citizen right at the centre
of what you’re talking about should be the
model of society that presupposes .....

..... you’re talking about teaching in parti-
cular kinds of schools where most of the

problems which face the child - you’re talking

about the individual, stem directly from their

social placement in society and it seems very

abstract to me to talk about enabling a child

to be aware of others as an individual without

their specific situation being right at the
centre of that when you’re working at the
level of working class schools - as we have
been. I think School A is a school which

would actually follow that sort of idea -
it does treat children as individuals - in

practice in the HCP (Humanities Curriculum
Project) classes I went into there was never
any attempt to locate the children at all
within their class or race. In practice it
does become exploring the children’s own
individual sense. I haven’t read the book

so maybe he does pick up on those themes.

ɪ don't know but if
someone like Searle
extreme you can see
actually in practice

you compare him say with
which is at the opposite
the difference as to what

will come into the class-

room .

a teacher,

work which

concerns which she will articulate more fully in her course
drew directly on these discussions later in the course. Once again
