Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work

1.) ....."The day after each experiment the teacher went over what the children had found during their class experiment , however the experiment was done by the teacher , so the teacher would ask what they "Found". This passage was found on page 4, third paragraph and i could not stop shaking my head and shrinking up my face. I couldnt believe what i was reading. If i was a child who went to this school i know i would hate it . I think this article and especially this page is worth discussing because as future teachers we need to learn what styles of teaching does work and which dont work and this clearly doesnt work for a number of reasons . First the students arent able to get any hands on experience with the experiment. how are they supposed to grasp the understanding of their results of what they found if they themselves didnt even get to TOUCH the experiment? In my opinion everything about these working-class schools had me shaking my head. i completely dont agree with their procedure steps, and just writing notes all the time. writing and copying the teachers notes is supposed to be an effective to study , learn, listen , understand and memorize. But none of these things can be done if theres no explanation behind it.
2.)"Occassionally, the children colored in a ditto and cut it out to make a stand up figure (representing  for example a man roping a cow in the southwest). These were referred by the teacher as the children's "Social studies projects". - WHATTT? coloring a lonely, little ditto paper is nothing, it is not even close to a project!! there's no excitement in a ditto. like what the heckkk!
3.) In the middle class school , work is getting the right awnser. if one accumulates enough right anwsers, one gets a good grade. - Now this is MY kind of school haha. Seriously though. I read the Middle class school's section and i agreed with basically the entire discussion. The way the teacher explains how to do two-digit division is by using many different ways and the teacher gives the student the choice on which way they would like to do it and which way they most understand.

I really enjoyed this article. I was interested in reading about the different types of schools and social classes. It was crazy to read how different schools taught education and taught the same kinds of lessons. overall this article i think will help me alot in my future years of teaching.
