"Control is evident in education institutions. Control includes the length of the scheduled class period - university and high school classes consume 55 to 120 minutes regardless of the time dictated naturally by content. Clocks, bells, calendars, syllabi, and lesson places all control the student, the teacher, and the school, where any disruption of the system undermines the McDonaldoized education assembly line process as a McStudent moves from one McTeacher to the next McTeacher from frosh to senior year as they are cranked though the diploma mills that characterize contemporary American education."
