QUOTE : Assembly-line instruction is what hap-pens in many schools. Learning is separated from productive activity. Kids are separated from families and most other adults and have little agency to decide how<br />and when they’ll plug into the learning process. The content is decided by experts<br />far removed from the community. Kids may have no idea why they’re learning this<br />content, nor any idea how to apply it, but the broader society has deemed it important. Students are expected to ingest the content and later they are sorted ac-cording to how accurately they can parrot back this content on exams.
