Radical models of education
Model of teaching were you flip the control so the students are more in charge
- Not ans expert relaying information where students passively listen and go do homework
- Organising your own learning, more engaging, deeper learning
- Rather than lectures, students find own info and read in class i.e. teaching themselves

They were pissed off that uni was for the elitist, middle and upper classes could only afford it. They only specialised in courses and was disadvantaging them, training you to be a cog in a machine. They were also very racist.
Hippy counter culture. Young against the old and try to take charge. They distributed revolutionary leaflets and things written by Wilheim Reich.

Ranciere slated him for it, no one agreed with Althusser.
Why have worker poets not been recognised and whats the difference?
'The distribution of the sensible'
Certain galleries will only accept certain work from certain people
Structure telling people they're different, power structures, hierarchical structures
"The ignorant Schoolmaster"
