Evidence
Thus, the classroom would form a single great table, with many different entries, under the scrupulously āclassificatoryā eye of the master: āIn every class there will be places assigned for all the pupils of all the lessons, so that all those attending the same lesson will always occupy the same place. Pupils attending the highest lessons will be placed in the benches closest to the wall, followed by the others according to the order of the lessons moving towards the middle of the classroom ā¦ Each of the pupils will have his place assigned to him and none of them will leave it or change it except on the order or with the consent of the school inspector.ā ā Michel Foucault, Discipline & Punish- The Birth of theā¦, 227
