The idea
Schools socialize through their stated curriculum and through their organization: schedules, authority, evaluation, and required cooperation with strangers.
In practice
Schools in different countries teach the same math but enforce very different schedules, seating, and deference to authority.
Where people slip
Much of what a school teaches was never listed as a subject.
