before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little
from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take
the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The
pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings
of governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students
know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their
society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted
conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
