Abstract
The purpose of this study is to elucidate how the performance of school activities by Canadian students within the state public school system constitutes a form of labour that is necessary to the reproduction of Canadian capitalist society. Traditionally, state-education has been understood as a process of producing future labour; my study puts forth an alternative theory that posits Canadian state-schooling itself as a labour process carried out by children and commanded by the Canadian state for its own political-economic purposes deriving from the capitalist social system.
