main pts:
1. A SCHOOL IN WHICH LIFE BECOMES BORING TEACHES NOTHING BUT BARBARISM--Boredom engenders violence.
2. A SCHOOL THAT HINDERS DESIRES STIMULATES AGGRESSIVENESS
a) One perceives, with the passage of time, that schoolkids have been treated according to the manufacturing processes employed by the Stalinist savant Pavlov, who gave his laboratory dogs compensatory bits of sugar for good behavior and would sanction bad behavior with electric shocks.
b) Wasn't it necessary that scorn be the norm of the age in which pedagogues advocated an educational method that a single human being deserving of the name today would never inflict upon a dog?
c) Isn't it clear that school remains, as a result of the cowardice of a general assent, a place of dog-training and conditioning, to which the culture of pretext and the economy of reality are tightened like screws?
3. HOW CAN ONE GET TO KNOW THINGS WHEN OPPRESSION EXISTS?
a) To the idiotic expected-salary of the master, who reigns tyrannically over his class, responds with an equal idiocy the uproar and hullabaloo that serve to release the students' repressed energies.
4. TO LEARN WITHOUT DESIRE IS TO UNLEARN HOW TO DESIRE
a) How can one excite curiosity when there are so many beings tormented by the anguish of guilt and the fear of sanctions?
5. ERROR IS NOT CULPABILITY
a ) Whether he or she likes it or not, each day the student enters into a parole room in which he or she is to appear in front of judges and in answer to the accusation of presumed ignorance.
