Jay, yes, Foucault did include schools as an institution of
control. In fact, he demonstrates how schools were modeled directly from
how army troops were to be trained - in particular in how the body was to
be placed in relationship to time and movement.
I could find quotes later on. Presently I'm at school and my
library is at home. However, I have these last two weeks been rereading
Foucault for a paper I'm writing about the social construction of schools.
