We don"t need no education: schooling, surveillance & resistance. Key concepts: panopticon, surveillance, school rules, resistance, discipline, michel. How are we under surveillance: government, security cameras, parents, teachers, credit cards, debit, campus security, google, fb. How do we put others under surveillance: bus, hallway, street, elevators, waiting rooms, supermarket, club, bar, gym, schools, classrooms. School rules: academic policies, harassment policies, dress code policies. How bodies are regulated, trained, made docile. Threat of perpetual surveillance creates good behaviour. We act as though we are being watched. Bio power: power over bodies to ensure healthy, strong population: Subjected and practiced student bodies (p. 445) Common rules of dress: no winter jackets, non-religious headgear, hoods, beachwear or other. Common rules of dress: no ripped/torn clothing, clothing promoting hate or alcohol/drugs, no jewelry that could be a weapon, extreme subcultural styles.
