ANALYSE

The song Another Brik in the Wall talks about 1950s British education methods that the composer considers too harsh. Pink is sent to the school, where teachers want to "format" him so that he can be integrated into society, using violence if necessary. It can also be seen in the words TABLEAU PP These thoughts are, in the movie The Wall that illustrates the album. But the song also explains that the process is a vicious circle: women brutalize their husbands, who do the same with their students, who in turn become violent, etc. ... Then comes the sentence "Hey Teacher! ", A cry of revolt from students who seem to be from the same point of view as the one treated in the song. The song does not criticize the level and methods of learning imposed on students, but only the non-negligible discipline.

The song also criticizes the wearing of the uniform, which is considered devaluing for students.

CONCLUSION

Through this song, Pink Floyd wanted to focus on the education of English students that he considers too strict and useless. It is therefore a committed work that challenges British education, said too strict by Waters, including calling teachers "dictators," who format students to fit into the "mold" of society "Normal". This music has been censored in South Africa because it affects young people
