Universal versus particular lessons

"The well integrated [classroom] is objectionable because it expects the [teacher] to establish an equilibrium between conflicting forces ... [Yet,] these forces are not of equal moral merit. [Teachers] are taught to forget the objective conflicts which necessarily repeat themselves in every [classroom] instead of being helped to grapple with them.

(rephrased from a teacher’s perspective rather than the individual’s from Theodore Adorno, “Sociology and Psychology: Part II” New Left Review).
