Consider:

-holders of advanced degrees and credentials (gatekeeping)

-assigns labour (literally called worksheets!) to pupils (proles)

-gives out sanctions, extra work, and bad reviews to punish bad work behaviour

-literally trained in discipline

-sharing of knowledge is forbidden, calls it cheating

-insists that you not work directly with your best friend, assigns you pairwork with a gender you’re not yet comfortable with

-according to most media, teachers are the most liberal profession

-creates quarterly performance reports for workers, stressing constant need to improvement (report cards)

-have direct access to whiteboard markers and notebooks, the means of instruction!

    Where’s the Marx piece where he talks about labor theory of value in relation to teachers who work for the state vs those who work for private schools and how that differentiates them economically?
