“Songs and Homework”: The Rhetoric of Instruction on Israeli Radio

Tamar Katriel, Pearla Nesher

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A phone‐in program aired on Israeli national radio, which offers junior high school students help with their homework, is analyzed as voicing a critique of school discourse on the one hand and as embodying and reproducing the major failings of standard school pedagogy on the other. The analysis is used as a basis for a more radical, self‐critical consideration of the ways in which children's participation in educational exchanges can be manipulated and trivialized. 1987 American Anthropological Association
