The prospects for such change are not bright, however. As confidence in the progressive potential of institutions such as schooling deteriorates, important social trends gain momentum. The limits of democracy become evident. Paraphrasing Habermas, Young describes the social context in which change would have to occur: The mass franchise [is] a manipulated franchise, a product of the mass management of public opinion. The reigning personality type, which schools helped to shape, [is] one which [feels] at home in relationships of either domination or subordination, rather than mature autonomy and equality.
In contrast to those institutions that are largely managed by powers remote from ordinary citizens, schooling represents a widely contested social territory to which large numbers of people in the culture have immediate access. Schools therefore provide vital sites where public deliberation and compromise can still take place, and in which wider community participation remains possible. The question of how schooling is addressed by the public is therefore doubly significant. First, it matters how individuals directly involved think about schools because it will affect the shape of lives in a variety of ways, some of them subtle and typically unacknowledged.
