In this blog I will look at the major sociological approaches to education in different societies, with emphasis on Canadian society. I will provide critical reflection, reviews and other relevant materials that focus on topics such as relationship between family, education and society; education and inequality; the social organization of knowledge; education and social change; the politics.

South Park clip on Ritalin
This episode of south park (season 4 episode 4) is discussing issues around the use of Ritalin on kids. I find this clip interesting because the character chef mentions hitting kids rather then giving them drugs. I think this illustrates a comparison of the two and shows a constant effort to find methods to exert discipline in school. I may do a review on this episode as it has many interesting concepts surrounding sociology of education.
