The ‘correspondence principle’ (Bowles & Gintis) suggests that:
schools prepare children for work by teaching them to be obedient
teachers and parents tend to have similar attitudes to learning
children who write lots of letters develop a better grasp of language
boys’ and girls’ educational achievements have recently become similar
schools prepare children for work by teaching them to be obedient
Marxist theorists suggest that education serves the interests of the owners of capital. Bowles & Gintis argued that the experience of mainstream education prepared young people to be subordinate, obedient workers who would carry out monotonous tasks without complaining. Their ‘correspondence principle’ suggested that the structure of social relationships at school mirrored those of the workplace, in terms of power and authority; the hidden curriculum taught children how to behave like docile workers. 327
