However, she was left bruised badly blistered after her male vice-principal spanked her. Taylor’s mother gave permission for her daughter’s punishment, but she did not know it would be the schools male vice- principal administering it. According to Springtown’s ISD policy, “corporal punishment shall be administered only by an employee who is the same sex as the student” (FOX NEWS). In Taylor’s case, her punishment caused injury to her body. Two days after the paddling Taylor stated that, “[she] still has welts on her today” (FOX NEWS).
In the documentary, “A Class Divided” filmed in 1970, a third grade teacher in Iowa named Jane Elliot did something that I felt was so amazing, during a time period that most might consider risky. She divided her class by the color of their eyes and came up with very clever ways to make them feel discriminated against. Watching the short film, about how she taught her class the lesson of discrimination, which was prompted by the death of Martin Luther King, is just fascinating! At first I was writing down everything I could to be able to reference my notes later, to write this paper. Suddenly I just stopped writing and really got into the lesson as though I was in the classroom with them.
In the PBS Frontline documentary after the A Class Divided there is a segment where Jane conduct's the segregation demonstration for the employees of the Iowa department of corrections. I also was surprised and happy to find out that the documentary has been used often in businesses, schools, and other organizations. I think adults of different races or color would be happy to see that there is a way of teaching children and adults what it feels like to be discriminated against. The tactics Jane Elliot uses to create negative stereotypes and cause segregation are; 1.) A collar must be worn around the neck of the Inferior group.

One article which was a story on a girl who blamed her father for the divorce of her parents, the other was about pregnant teenagers of Hazelwood East High School sharing the experiences they encountered in the school.

A cult grows in America chapter really talked about how the cult is taking over the American society. Society, family and friends pressure women to look a certain way which leads to extreme disorders. Hesse-Biber interviewed young women who were in the cult and you are able to get a point of view from a past cult member. One person really stood out the most to me that Hasse-Biber mentioned was Delia. Delia came from an easy life where she got everything she wanted but the pressure to maintain a certain look was pushed down on her by her parents especially her mother.
However, when information is removed from textbooks, part of history is distorted. Due to this alteration of facts, the agony and despair felt by the victims of unimaginable and devastating acts would be forgotten. For example: “Leilani Muir was 10 when her mother committed her to Alberta’s Provincial Training School for Mental Defectives. On the Basis of a single IQ test, she was labeled a ‘moron’. Four years later, she was admitted to the school clinic, supposedly to have her appendix removed.
Read it through, and discuss which of the six causes of bullying is responsible for this incident.” ● “After you have found the cause and written it down, write your evidence in the middle column. The evidence must prove that your answer is correct. Then explain why this is unfair to the person being bullied.” ● “If you complete your scenario well enough to present it to the class, move on to the scenario below yours and complete it.” ● Direction check for understanding: “Where should the answers to the first column come from?” (the six causes of bullying above). “What is evidence?” (text that proves your answer is the right one). ● Circulate around the room and check answers.
Violence in Schools I chose Youth Violence in Schools as the topic for my post. I chose this particular topic because it is something that I have witnessed in the different schools my children have attended and wanted to know more of. I believe the majority of the time urban schools receive more negative publicity, based on the environment in which they are given. One day I would like to be able to assist these urban schools by volunteering and donating time to try and make things better for them. However, in this post I will focus and discuss the violence in these urban schools.
