The institution of education...

"The institution of education reflects, constructs, maintains, and changes the society of which it is a part."

"Schooling transforms social disadvantage into personal failure; social privilege into merit."

"Education is the 'great equalizer'."  "Education is liberation."

"Students are forced to accept the rules of society."

"Education is the KEY to a meritocracy; it is THE institution that is supposed to actualize meritocracy."
