Space of Ideology
I think some of the presuspositions have been that college kids are only at school to learn and to take no experience from thier present situation, thats why lecture halls house 200 hundred students or more, there is no such thing as personal space or time for babying, because out in the "real world" you get neither of those. But ecause Ideology is the common knowledge of the masses who gets to decide common knowledge? It is a paradoxical situation that seems to be born mostly out of generalizations. However we take these things with out question and make them truth, making it hard to tease out the ideologies, because they have been used so many times in our lives that create them in to being natural. It seems disturbing that things that we call natural and common sense have no real grounding and we dont know why they are the way they are. No amount of questioning would turn it the other way, with somethings. So more than anything it seems like people are trying not to figure out how they are, but would rather let the chips fall and see where they settle in.

Since I have no idea how to edit,I forgot to mention my idea of the classroom. I think that the set up is more so that there is no other focus besides the professor, class rooms usually are not set up with the professor in the center because that incites disscussion where there should be none because for that time the teachers word is law. I also think that the chalkboard real significance is only toexpress what one mind thinks is important and that your own should be left on your desk. The classroom, is reaally just making the distinction between the class of the teacher and the class of the student.
