The document discusses the differences between education and schooling. Education is a process of human growth and understanding, while schooling is a formalized process that varies little between settings. Schools can either transmit or re-create culture by socializing students to prevailing ways or training them as agents of change. The four basic purposes of schools are intellectual development, civic and political training, economic preparation, and social adaptation. The roles of teachers and experiences of students differ between elementary, middle, and high schools. Effective schools have high expectations, engaged instruction, well-managed behavior, instructional leadership, and involved parents.
