Submission Training
Submission Training is the decades long training children get that teaches them how to conform, comply, and submit to authority.
Notes
As Giroux (1983) notes, part of the hidden curriculum is aimed at not only at creating a hierarchical status quot, but maintaining it as well silencing and controlling children.
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]
