School vs Child: In Search of Mitigating Circumstances

Leiden University, The Netherlands, veer{at}fsw.LeidenUniv.nl

Langhout (2005) presents an account of a modern school, the degree of control over the students exerted by the teachers, and the ways the children resist this pressure. In my reaction I point out that the control mechanisms she describes form part of a long tradition in the history of education and that they may be inevitable. I also suggest that to make her stronger claims more convincing we would need rather more information.

Key Words: control • history of education • resistance • schooling • stereotyping
