What Is Education And Schooling?
Resumen
Every society teaches its young, but not every society does it the same way. Some children learn beside their parents in a field or a workshop; others sit in rows behind desks following a national curriculum; still others learn at a kitchen table or through a screen. Sociology asks a deceptively simple question: what is education actually for, and why does it take so many different shapes around the world?
In this lesson you will separate education from schooling, uncover the hidden lessons a school teaches without ever writing them on the board, and weigh up the strengths and limits of state, private, faith, single-sex and international schools. You will also meet the alternatives that challenge the classroom altogether: online learning, homeschooling, unschooling, vocational training and progressive schooling. By the end you will be able to compare them like a sociologist rather than simply praise or condemn.
