The Immorality of the Hidden Curriculum.

Gordon, David

Journal of Moral Education, v10 n1 p3-8 Oct 1980

Since the learning from it is mainly unconscious, the hidden curriculum is morally suspect as a violation of pupils' basic rights to decide what they wish to study and to be aware of the forces influencing them. It is the school's task to raise the hidden curriculum into pupils' consciousness. (Author/SJL)
