The outside world begins creeping into the schools when the children reach the age of 13 and older, the age when they begin to make subject choices and when, according to a careers officer,“they know if they’re a scientific lot or more inclined to the arts”. The difficult part is bringing the outside world to life with all its opportunities and realities. Schools are handicapped because they are staffed by people who only know about schools. Careers services are heavily influenced by what is readily available in the area, which may be sausage making in Wiltshire or shipbuilding in riverside. Somewhere out in the world there are landscape gardeners and girls who polish Elizabeth Taylor’s diamonds, but the careers officer knows little of them. What he knows about is engineering and hairdressing (理发,美容)and opportunities in the Army. It is not surprising that this constant friction (摩擦) between grand aspirations and uninspired reality produces cynicism
