- The role of education - Marxism
- Althusser
- Education reproduces class inequality by transmitting it from generation to generation by failing the working class
- School legitimates class inequality by producing ideologies that disguise its true cause - that they deserve their lower position in society for the rest of their life
- Bowels and Gintis: schooling in capitalists
- Capitalist schools try to reproduce an obedient work force that will accept inequality
- It does not foster personal development and instead distorts it
- Althusser
