Deschooling Juvenile Justice Centres
摘要
As a wrap-up of the previous chapters, this chapter follows Ivan Illich’s (1970) critique of schools and schooling to imagine what would deschooling JJCs (and schools themselves) look like. First, it poses that less control and more trust, adult vulnerability and engenderment of true relationships would definitely be a step forward. Second, it calls to assume that education for all means education by all, which implies allowing for a protagonist (Liebel, 2007) place for children and youth in JJCs (and schools), and conceiving learning itself as participation (Lave and Wenger, 1991). Third, it argues that we can only advocate for children’s protagonism and effective participation if, at the same time, we commit to the overcoming of adultism. And fourth, and reliant on the overcoming of adultism, the chapter makes a call for the rejoinder of work and play, alienated from each other by capitalism and its institutions of compulsory (re)education.
