Chapter 4 Exercise 1

Jean Anyon summarizes the arguments of several authors about the issue of education and the type of knowledge different classes receives. She discusses how depending on your social power and class, you are taught different skills. For example, the more advantaged social groups are taught medical and legal skills while the working class individuals are taught more hands on, manual skills.  I feel that Anyon never really makes a point to show her views but rather just discusses others.  If anything however, I feel she seems somewhat frustrated by the education situation when she says there has been little or no attempt to investigate the ideas.
