摘要

The collage that begins this chapter (Fig. 4.1) features the torn-out page of an old colonial textbook. Material rips, tears and scars carry meaning in collage as narrative disrupters and critiques. Here they suggest (via the right page replaced with an image of the child, resting on a typical ‘End of Test’ blank white page) that the child learner—often the dyslexic child struggling with literacy—falls into and becomes trapped inside the national test, as a mere page in the great (colonial, conservative, patriarchal, leather-bound) textbook of education.
