Who is the What Is School For poster for?
What Is School For belongs to the Sociology section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning family & education can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the What Is School For poster?
In any essay on education that has to weigh perspectives rather than pick one. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so What Is School For belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with What Is School For?

Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Childhood as a ConstructCredentials & ScreeningCultural Reproduction
