Yes, society is built on the premise of control...even our democratic society. We use school and the educational system to internalize that control. We don't do something because it isn't the way "nice" people act or we could get in trouble. What happens if we as adult educators are aware of these power issues, then what can we do? How does that change our interaction with our students? With the administrators? An excellent book that is just coming out on this issue of power is called "At the Heart of Practice" Ron Cervero and Arthur Wilson are the editors. I highly recommend it.
