Its one thing to say class relations "seem to be necessarily fundamental to
the development of a child's concept of self and others as well as of the
world into which s/he aspires" it is an entirely different matter of how we
look at that internalization. In a country like the U.S. this
internalization tends to be looked at something that is negative, abnormal,
in need of being fixed as apposed to having value in its own right.
