Edumacation Among Different Social Classes According to Anyon, writer of “From Social class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work”, economic status is strongly tied to educational development: “Scholars in political economy and the sociology of knowledge have recently argued that public schools in complex industrial societies like our own make available different types of educational experience and curriculum knowledge to students in different social classes” (Anyon 195). This would suggest that everyone does not have the same access to the benefits of a post-secondary education. Anyon used classroom observation, interviews of students, teachers, principals, and district administrative staff, and assessment of curriculum
It is important for myself to understand relevant legislation and it’s purpose, as this will help me in my role as a teaching assistant and make me aware of my responsibilities. The rights of all children and young people are stated in the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989). The UK Government must ensure that the right’s of children in the UK are protected through law. These rights include the right to education and the right for children to have views respected. Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Protects the rights of all those with disabilities.
I have chosen to compare and contrast John Dewey and Nel Noddings views on their educational goals, a social justice curriculum, liberation education, issues of standardized testing and the effects on students and teachers. Dewey’s main educational goal is that education should have two sides: social and psychological. His evaluations are based on how the child interacts with society and how he/she contributes to the good of society. Dewey was the first one to say we need to look at the students to decide how to teach, a modern-day form of ‘differentiation’. He believed that all students should have the opportunity to take part in their own learning.
BE ABLE TO PROMOTE EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. Through research and own experiences I have come to learn about the current legislation and code’s of practice to the promotion of equality and valuing diversity. I have looked at the rights and the importance of valuing and promoting equality and diversity in work with children and young people and how it is affected by inclusion and inclusive practices and the barriers children face. 1.1 Identify current legislation and codes of practice relevant to the promotion of equality and valuing diversity. Each school must produce a range of policies which formally sets out the guidelines and procedures for ensuring equality.
The education system creates this effectively by teaching subjects such as history, which enables children to see the link between themselves and wider society. Durkheim argued that school serves a function that cannot be provided the family or peer groups and that individuals must learn to cooperate with those who are neither family nor friends, and he says the school is a place where these skills can be learned. Sticking with the functionalist view of the education system, Durkheim believed that school rules should be strictly enforced and that punishments be carried out to the full so it is made clear to the offenders that their actions were wrong. He believes that it is this way that pupils will learn what is wrong in society as a whole. Functionalist Talcott Parsons developed Durkheim’s ideas, and argued that
This building is a historical landmark of Queens. If this school were to shut down, the students would be missing so much educational excellence from the teachers. It wouldn’t make any sense to close the school and split each floor into new schools when it’s the budget cuts that are being deducted every school year. Bryant high school has so many academic departments and athletic sports to offer. It would be a shame to let these opportunities for the students to lessen.
There are valid reasons to think that raising content standards is the answer, and there are equally valid concerns about the practice, and some evidence that it may actually be harmful to student progress. As educators, I believe it is our duty to research these ideas fully and make sure that our teaching practices both follow the law and reflect our beliefs about how to best educate the our students.

taxpayers about $193 per household per year (Stein 2011). My family along with many others are having a hard enough time paying for their own bills and what not let alone someone else's. As long as foreigners are encouraged by our actions to ignore our immigration laws, we will forever be hard pressed to defend our borders. And, not only will America’s most vulnerable workers (minimum-wage) suffer from unfair competition against illegal aliens for jobs, but that competition will become even harsher because of the newly legalized workers competing for jobs from employers who precisely hire only legal workers (Martin 2011). Many argue that they are an economic benefit.
Most immigrants living in the city became democrats because the party focused on the common person. Part of the disagreements occurred because Irish Immigrants who would work for very little replaced Americans with low paying jobs in order to survive. Ethnic and anti-Catholic rioting occurred in many northern states. One of the anti-Catholic groups was called the know-nothings. This anti-Catholic group wanted to make it take longer for the Irish Immigrants to become citizens.
Intense rivalry quickly developed between the Irish and working class Bostonians over these jobs. In Ireland, a working man might earn eight cents a day. In America, he could earn up to a dollar a day, a tremendous improvement. Bostonians feared being undercut by hungry Irish willing to work for less than the going rate. Their resentment, combined with growing anti-Irish and anti-Catholic sentiment among all classes in Boston led to 'No Irish Need Apply' signs being posted in shop windows, factory gates and workshop doors throughout the city.
