Answer: letting him decide how best to prepare students.

Explanation: Marx’s concept of alienation centers on workers being separated from control over their labor and its products. Giving the teacher autonomy over how to teach restores control over the labor process and reduces alienation more directly than higher pay, better tests, or leading a campaign.
