Notes
As Giroux (1983) notes, part of the hidden curriculum is aimed not only at creating a hierarchical status quo, but maintaining it as well by silencing and controlling children and adolescents.
When you put children into a series of rows and tell them that they cannot talk and that they have to listen to you as teacher, the hidden curriculum that is being transmitted is that they do not have the right to talk, that they do not have the right to be part of the way of educating. When a teacher gets up and says that they have the authority in class and that nobody can question that, they are not saying that they are teaching them to be passive and not demand responsibilities of the powers, but that the hidden curriculum is very clear. If you examine what is really being taught there, you see that education is a way of silencing [1][2]
This Reddit meme sums it up quite nicely.
