Knowledge divided into fields…kingdoms…ruled by

= step up ladders to knowledge

11. Concentration: …criminals were rounded up
and concentrated in prisons, the mentally ill
rounded up in and put in “lunatic asylums”,

in factories.
(Peter Drucker)
14. “Schools are still modeled on a curious mix of
the factory, the asylum and the prison... We
are glad to see the end of the traditional
factory; why should we expect the school
modeled on it to be welcome to children?”
(Hargreaves)
