Abstract
Educational politics in the United States is entangled in the notion that the foremost mission of education is, in the infamous words of Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed revision of the University of Wisconsin’s mission, “to develop human resources to meet the state’s workforce needs.” This general outlook is not an outlier. It is typical of those who approach education primarily as a way to fuel industry with skilled labor. This outlook is premised on an increasingly dominant educational model that is miseducative, antidemocratic, and incompatible with values of mutual respect and individual dignity. It is helpful to analyze the industrial model of education more precisely, getting clearer about the way it informs both educational discourse and delivery, so that our critiques of ill-considered aims and priorities can be clearly and forcefully targeted.
美国的教育政治与这样一种观念纠缠在一起:用州长斯科特·沃克(Scott Walker)提议修改威斯康星大学(University of Wisconsin)使命的臭名昭著的话来说，教育的首要使命是“开发人力资源，以满足该州的劳动力需求”。这种总体前景并非例外。这是典型的那些把教育主要看作是为工业提供熟练劳动力的方式的人。这种观点的前提是一种日益占主导地位的教育模式，这种模式是错误的，反民主的，与相互尊重和个人尊严的价值观不相容的。更精确地分析教育的工业模式是有帮助的，更清楚地了解它为教育话语和教育交付提供信息的方式，这样我们对考虑不周全的目标和优先事项的批评就可以清晰而有力地有针对性。
