a student speaks school philosophy dictates working as one entity home from rjac for the holidays secondary school structure and philosophy by david blanay to detail the present learn ins process structure and philosophv is a very tall or der however this is not ex cth wht i will be doing what 1 wish to do is present vh t a student is presented w ih either tacitly or out loud i won t say that what 1 pres ent arc the thoughts that ar supposed to lie behind th system i will simplv sav that they are the ones which a student perceives i will also submit that they might just as well be the ones the svstcm really works under because they are the onpi which the student will act and react to they also stand a good chance on a close e- animation of bong the real guides of ihe system in most cases one would is lump that if a philosophy is rcalij determining the moves in a process then it would also de termine the structure in th learning process however is not as easily determined that the structure flows from ihe philosophy bsicallj the structure and philcsophj are authoritarian io the worst sense not only this but the tructure seems to have become an end in itself it hai become he guide line and the philosophy has been made to work within it when- i said authoritarian in the worst sense i did not mean that it was regimented and to tally ordered it it and this is an evil in itself but rather thin nstcad of being taught how to think a student is being taught what to think todav the modern educator seems to read not only machiaxelli but also the hand baot of computor programming there arc certain rules that are iipccssary at present in our secondary schools these hn evtr i a mrhool is running w 1 can and should be kept to a minimum the proliferation of ules and regulations which he grown up in our schools represent altemrls to shoreup a faijng system administrators fear that innamcd something that black horror which the teenage generation is conspir ing to inflict on them wnen thy are not looking they seem to have in mind a more compli cated version of putting a frog in the teachers desk to prev vnt this educators and adminis trators develop a day to day phi losophy which reenforces the ethic of present society a soc iety which they live tn but which a student not watched constantly will for a few heady moments break away from but 3 few heady moments is all for dissent is soon beaten out of him in secondary school the atu dent finds himself dealing with n rfionolith more correctly h finds a monolith dealing with him for what cog ever found itself dealing with the whole machine the structure we are dcalisg wi h dictates completely from hc top the reasons for any particular action are never ex plained they shouldn need to be because ftiey came from the authority seems to be the the ory the philosophy and structure determine that the school must work as one entity the divers parts of the whole composition ire not there to advance them
