The child of the city cannot expect anything which lies outside the possible development of institutional process.
Super interesting perspective. The notion of a child from the city and their reality of scientifically developed compared to rural communities.
People who can demonstrate skills will be plentiful as soon as we learn to recognize them outside the teaching profession.
Outside the teaching profession, individuals are identified with demonstrated skills. Yet many of these skills require certificates or "proof" of skill mastery.
A "skill model" is a person who possesses a skill and is willing to demonstrate its practice

Students who can be motivated to value the educational packages which their teachers obligate them to consume are comparable to Chinese peasants who can fit their flocks into the tax form provided by Borges
Interesting analogy
increasingly attacked from all sides.
And this is true today
I believe that a desirable future depends on our deliberately choosing a life of action over a life of consumption
I think when one finds their action, that is a desirable life. As an educator a life of action is a daily occurrence.
It is also the world's fastest-growing labor market.
With the wave of charter and private schools
In a schooled world the road to happiness is paved with a consumer's index.

they will aspire to the style of life of college graduates
I am curious as to how one would define this?

Today in the United States the black and even the migrant can aspire to a level of professional treatment
I believe black and migrants "can aspire" and yet there are still many barriers in their aspirations. The power and privilege of professional treatment remains in those who are part of the dominant socio-culture.
