AO2: However, Brown refutes this and disagrees with Marxists. He believes that there are many school leavers and even graduates that are unemployed, suggesting that schools are NOT preparing students well. This is because modern bussinesses require SHARED CREATIVITY and TEAMWORK but schools encourage compteition through testing them with exams. Therefore, these skills are discouraged
Bowles and Gintis also argue that the hidden curriculum also prepares students for the wolrd of work. This is where they are taught things that are not necessarily in official rules and timetable but will benefit them in the future. For example, students are punished when bad and awarded with good qualifications when they stuy, in the same way workers are rewarded and punished. Also, students are at the bottom of the hierachy and teachers are at the top, just as they will be at the bottom when starting their careers. Students also have to OBEY their teachers
Again, the hidden curriculum also creates OBEDIANT workers where they will be exploited in the future, creating inequalitiues.
