| Abstract: |
The subject of chapter six is current educational policy, the modern school and the place of children in it. School is one of the institutions that establishes and legitimates society's dominant relationship with childhood. The compulsory nature of schooling embodies the dominant concepts and assumptions about the social status and status of childhood, such as the child's dependence on adults (parents/educators), inexperience, limited participation in decision-making on matters concerning the child, control and supervision of the child's daily life. Moreover, it is an implementation of the official rhetoric of a uniform, undifferentiated and universal approach to childhood, which promises to safeguard and equally serve the interests of the entire child-learner population. In this chapter, we will examine this relationship and its consequences on children. We will also discuss alternative educational models.
