Above discourse on Ranciere shows Rancieres attachment to three or four topics at once. The juggling may impress, but the discussion of pedagogy is nonsensical emotionalism. Premodern pedagogy is traditionalist. It is teacher-centred with linear information systems,promoting deductive learning. The past shapes the present (tradition, customs, habit).

The organisational culture is one of rule-based compliance in which relationship of facilitator and learner requires rules to govern right of learner to ask questions.
