The environment of prejudice and discrimination will have a very negative impact on children. Depending on how long it goes on for, the child’s learning will suffer. They will not want to join in any activities, as this would draw attention to themselves, feel part of the class and won’t settle and be happy. So academically their progress will suffer, which is totally wrong as every child has the right to learn and be happy at school. Discrimination and prejudice can have a long term impact on any child.
A student’s mindset comes from negative labeling from parents or teachers, or stereotypes based on race and class. Even though students get fixed mindsets from many ways, parents will be a major factor, parents always gives their children negative labeling which causes them to have peer pressure. In the nonfictional article, “The Case of the Purloined Paper”, written by Brigid Schulte, she
It will also cause stress for the students because they will have a hard time learning there subject. With the increase of stress students grades Drop and some people would say they would become unreasonable adult figures when they grow up. Instead I propose that students should come after school and learn the subject
<BR>Are boys and girls treated differently by the teacher in classroom situations? This is a question that has frustrated many psychologists and educators. In many cases, I think gender does play a significant role in the education process. Teachers may unconsciously give more attention to the boys in a classroom. Peggy Orenstein proved this in her essay, "Learning Silence: Scenes from the Class Struggle," in which she did field research in junior high schools interviewing and observing the interaction of teachers to their students.
Influences in the Teaching Environment Grand Canyon University Edu 536 April 16, 2014 Every teacher knows that there are your students who are challenging and those that are not. Although, every child has their good days and their bad days, when a child is consistently interrupting the teacher, disrespecting themselves and their peers, and disrupting the learning of others, then you may be dealing with more than just the occasional outburst. Knowing when a student in misbehaving and having a plan to deal with that misbehavior, can help create a classroom environment that is nurturing, welcoming, and safe. In this paper I will be addressing ten negative classroom behaviors and strategies teachers can use to help change the behavior.
The processes that take place within the school are classification of pupils, labelling, typing and the self-fulfilling prophecy, banding and streaming and pupil subcultures and identities. Within the school there are major social class, gender and ethnic differences in how pupils do, with much debate about the reasons for these differences. Many sociologists argue that the processes and the factors within the school are the main cause of differences in the educational achievement of different social groups. The positive and negative labelling of pupils by teachers can have important effects on pupil’s performance, this is a good example of how the differences in the educational achievement of different social groups effect in different ways. Hargreaves interviewed teachers and did a classroom observation.
SOAPSTone By: Reilley Graves Date: 10/19/14 Subject: The subject of Margaret Talbot’s “The Best in Class” is that the system that stands today for choosing who will be valedictorian is causing many problems in students’ lives. Some problems the author believes this current flimsy system is causing that students are cheating, allowing ties between multiple qualified students, and anxiety among students, parents, and teachers. In the essay, the authors says, “I wanted to make sure the school knew how traumatic something like this could be-thinking you’re competing under on set of rules, and having and expectation because of that, and find out your competing under another.” This quote proves that this weak system is missing with these high
Teachers and administrators recognize, of course, that children bring a plethora of issues with them to the classroom these days...drugs, gangs, violence, family dissolution and stress, financial hardship, and social discrepancy. There are other factors which place children at-risk as well. The number of minority and limited-English-proficiency children in schools is on the rise. We have to do all we can to help these new students, but some teachers feel very ill-prepared to do that. Schools get labeled as failing when they can get all students to the level that the state says they need to be.
If it wasn’t for Laurie realizing what was going on things could have gotten bad fast! As you can see these two pieces have the same theme, which is “I’m not a hero I just did what was right.” The characters have changed so much by this lesson. They have realized they have to take charge, and do the right thing. This theme affects students today almost every day. For example, there are students faced with bullying every day.
People in poorer communities tend to face harder obstacles like a bad home life, hard economic times, and influences that push dropping out of school. These students also have to deal with old, out-of-date school supplies like textbooks-even their teachers tend to not be as qualified as teachers in wealthier school districts. Furthermore, due to standardized testing, teachers in these poorer school districts tend to teach to the test by teaching with the drill-and-kill method where kids are being taught by memorizing certain multiple choice questions and answers (Neill 29-35). Surprisingly, high-stakes test like promotion tests are the main contributors to retention of students- most of which have learning disabilities. Retention, though, has proved to not help students academically.
