what i am not hearing in this discussion are notions of
epistemology or the cultivation of critical social conscience or
any kind of "what is education for?" ideas beyond the
acceptance of "school" as cultural - and "school" is certainly
the problematic manifestation of "education" - so what
are other cultural manifestations of education and its relations
to knowledge and conscience? that is, if the issue is about "schools" as
failed institutions, then private/public domains are not
the issue; but rather what is education for? is the question, isn't it?

When she walks,
the revolution's coming.
In her hips, there's revolution.
When she talks, I hear revolution.
In her kiss, I taste the revolution.
