  "School and Society" is a book written by John Dewey, a philosopher and educator, in 1899. In this book, Dewey advocates for a more progressive and democratic approach to education that emphasizes the importance of practical learning and social experience. 
  Dewey argues that traditional education, which focuses on rote memorization and standardized testing, fails to prepare students for real-life situations and inhibits their ability to think critically and creatively. Instead, he suggests that education should be based on the interests and experiences of the students, and should involve hands-on activities and problem-solving exercises. 
  Furthermore, Dewey believes that education should not be isolated from society, but should be integrated into the community and reflect the values and needs of the society. He asserts that education should help students develop social consciousness and promote democracy by encouraging cooperation, tolerance, and social responsibility. 
  Overall, "School and Society" is a seminal work in the history of education, as it paved the way for the development of progressive education, which continues to influence educational theory and practice to this day

  In 1787, British philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham conceived of the panopticon, a ring of cells observed by a central watchtower, as a labor-saving device for those in authority. While Bentham's design was ostensibly for a prison, he believed that any number of places that require supervision—factories, poorhouses, hospitals, and schools—would benefit from such a design. The French philosopher Michel Foucault took Bentham at his word. In his groundbreaking 1975 study, Discipline and Punish, the panopticon became a metaphor to describe the creeping effects of personalized surveillance as a means for ever-finer mechanisms of control.
   
  Forty years later, the available tools of scrutiny, supervision, and discipline are far more capable and insidious than Foucault dreamed, and yet less effective than Bentham hoped. Shopping malls, container ports, terrorist holding cells, and social networks all bristle with cameras, sensors, and trackers. But, crucially, they are also rife with resistance and prime opportunities for revolution. The Inspection House is a tour through several of these sites—from Guantánamo Bay to the Occupy Oakland camp and the authors' own mobile devices – providing a stark, vivid portrait of our contemporary surveillance state and its opponents.
