    School is deliberately set up to produce good and bad students. The working class is subdivided into higher-paying higher-status workers, precarious low-wage workers and the unemployed, and schools are tasked with reproducing and justifying these divisions. Pretty sure this can’t be done without some pretty fucked up abusive bullying, and so here we are, most are more or less traumatized by school.
