[lbo-talk] School Debate: Central Focus

Well, yes, a good deal of education should be integrated with work. But what kind of work? Alienated, dumbed down work? I don't think so.

You left out torture.  For all the flaws of schooling, would it be 
better if kids just went to work?

While this question cannot be answered in the abstract (that is in
abstraction from specific power relations), it is worth noting that Marx
would have favored that. His position was that "education" should not exist
as a separate institution or practice but should be a 'variation' within the
work process.
