The Issue of Schooling...or How to Tame a Horse, 2018

It is a very comprehensive analytical work which I intend to take into a commentary consideration in this brief article. Schooling is a matter of great and recent concern not the least from a political point of view, where schooling seems to take on a specific role that deals with not only schooling as a normativity but also schooling as the absolute forming of students. Despite ongoing disagreements on what kind of schooling may prove the best as well as the correct form of education as a whole, in this paper I argue that relevant science may have a pretty good idea as to how to apply schooling in such a way as to ensure that teaching is applied equally efficient. It is, however, slightly more difficult to see how this very same science and the above-mentioned knowledge finds its way into educational policies not to mention finding its way into the classroom. I argue, that schooling is not (surprisingly and not only) society's tool for data delivery and data interpretation, but also (and perhaps rather) some certain specific actors of society's tool for culturalization. This thereby changes schooling from being an educational tool only, a mere transfer of data and a formation of students into a political tool, thus creating a notion of schooling being more or less synonymous with a different kind of formation, a formation of a quite specific nature to suit quite specific properties. I claim these properties to be of an economic, market oriented and universalist nature. I therefore wish to draw attention to two aspects of interest: the oddity of science's position in this matter, where science appears to have plausible answers as to how the best possible The following constitutes a comprehensive commentary to schooling as a term with many faces, as demonstrated by a line of brilliant scholars in this special issue. This paper may seem slightly drifting away from its role as a commentary article. However, I base my commentary on two articles especially; Åsta Birkeland and Siv Ødemotland (2018) and their article on their educational exchange with Chinese kindergarten on one hand and Thomas Szulevicz' article (2018) on the perhaps improper marriage between psychology and (what he refers to as) neoliberal schools.

Men ingen lov er jaevngod at følge som sandheden, men hvor man er i tvivl om, hvad der er sandhed, der skal loven vise sandheden (Jyske Lov, 1241). således lyder de første linjer i jyske lov, forfattet på foranledning af Valdemar Sejr i 1241, og med denne lov ratificeredes overgangen fra et retssystem, baseret på blodhaevn, muligheden for at svaerge på egen uskyld og betaling af mandebod i drabssager, til et system, baseret på 1 vidneudsagn og bevisførelse og en anden myndighed. Valdemars lov blev en vigtig forankring i dansk retspleje, og den var åbenbart et stykke kvalitetsarbejde, for Jyske Lov var i Sønderjylland gaeldende helt frem til år 1900. Den gode konge ville nok have fundet anledning til at rotere en anelse i sin grav, havde han vaeret vidne til naervaerende sag, omhandlende udviklingen af retssikkerheden i enevaeldens Danmark i tiden omkring Christian 7 og hans søn kronprins Frederik (den senere Frederik 6.), altså i perioden ca 1750 til og med enevaeldens ophør 1849. Det er i denne periode Ulrik Langens bog det Sorteste Hjerte finder sted. Langen har udset sig en aktør i datidens København, en herre, Michael Brabrand, der i kraft af sin påståede åbenmundethed og sin manglende respekt for øvrigheden pådrog sig systemets vrede i en sådan grad, at mistede alt det, han troede sikkert, herunder familie, hus, formue og-efter datidens standarder uopretteligt-sin aere. At Ulrik Langen vaelger netop denne historie at fortaelle om haenger sandsynligvis sammen med, at denne historie er veldokumenteret, og at denne historie har vaeret behandlet af andre forskere før ham. I bogens efterskrift naevnes, at H. P. Giessing i sin bog Kong Frederik den 2 Sjettes Regjeringshistorie fra 1850 fortaeller om sagerne mod Brabrand og Holm (én af Brabrands gode venner, Kancelliråd). Giessing tager i sin bog afstand fra Holm og Brabrand og støtter sig således alene på den officielle fremstilling af sagen.
