Topic > Alienation in the analysis of the educational system - 778

Alienation (alienation from work) is an experience lived by teachers because they are not allowed to concretely set up their own curriculum. They have some freedom, but most of it involves trying to work around the already set curriculum that tries to make the student function as a citizen. Furthermore, they are forced to give grades, so as not to be fired. The second (alienation from worker to worker) is the alienation intended to distinguish those who have power from those without it. The professor imprisons the boss and the student the worker. For most students the professor is the one who has the power and determines our future. The third alienation (alienation from the product) is established to give students a qualification that benefits neither the professor nor the student but the capital. This might give the students and professor the satisfaction of having accomplished, but in reality the winner is capital because they just acquired a new worker. Finally, alienation from the being of the species is the destruction of one's free will. Professors and students interact not because they want to but because they have to, and professors lose agency when they are forced to teach something they don't like or when they are forced to give in
