Abstract
As a kind of 'raw materialism', we argue that brutalism constitutes a useful analytic or figure with which to delink thinking from under the orthodoxies of educational thinking in the Global North. Our intention in this essay is not to offer yet another concept, critique, solution to, or survey of things gone wrong in the history of education and schooling. We propose that if a 'brutalist turn' is possible in education, it might be thought along two lines of import. The first might pertain to the ways in which infrastructure both orders and informs upon the character of pedagogical life. A second aspect of the brutalist turn might involve a different approach to educational analysis that adopts from the experimental mode of brutalism a host of new strategies for educational thought and practice. While not comprehensive, such strategies might harness the ideas of exposure, desubjectification, and molecular revolution as a fulcrum for relaunching education from under its contemporary lethargy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
