Anyon does think that more research needs to be done to clearly show how economic status has a direct connection to the role in children’s education. What I think one of the key aspects of Anyon’s essay is the examples that were given for each school and how the social class affected the teaching. Examples were given by what the teacher said and how he/she taught, I was able to put myself in the classroom and see how I would have handled learning. Starting with the working-class schools, Anyon observed how teachers didn’t explain the work, how it would relate to other lessons, or the point of learning. I feel if you don’t understand the point of something, what is the point of learning?

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
Through an extensive interviewing process of children and adolescents along with their parents Portes and Rivas sought to study how young immigrants are adapting to life in the United States. The glimpses that Portes and Rivas offer of these interviews greatly tie back to Derscheid’s argument on the influence of parenting practices regarding racial awareness, as well as to my interview with Sra. Ana. The researchers tie in their findings to two theoretical perspectives; the culturalist which observes the newcomer’s place in the cultural and linguistic life of the host society and the structuralist, which focuses on the newcomer’s place within the host’s socioeconomic hierarchy—both of which speak to the “need” of migrant populations to adapt. Furthermore, the scholars arrived to the conclusion that “racial stereotypes produce a positive self-identity for white and even Asians but a negative one for blacks and Latinos, alongside racialized self-perceptions among Mexican American students” (Portes & Rivas, 2011: 14).
Critically assess key elements of Bourdieu’s work on culture and its reception, paying particular attention to the notions of habitus and cultural capital. Bourdieu distinguishes two types of habitus corresponding to two successive stages of the socialization of the individual. The first primary habit that begins with life and ending roughly in high school. It was during this period that the child will learn and internalize the standards, codes, rules of his social group. This habit is the result of his family and school education.
Understanding The Montessori Class Room in Comparison To Today’s Public School Class Room. Numerous studies have been conducted comparing private school education to public school education. These studies examine the educational, moral and socioeconomic benefits of attending one educational institution verse another. However, limited research has been conducted in regards to applying specific theories to the classroom; such as the theories of education and development proposed by Maria Montessori and Jean Piaget. This paper examines the application of Montessori theories to the classroom environment and compares them to that of Piaget as well as that of a typical public school classroom, in order to better understand if a private school education is more beneficial to a student than a public school education.
In addition, they mention their own preceding 1977 peer tutoring training program, during which school-aged children were taught an array of teaching methods for use in classroom cooperation settings. 2. Research Questions/ Hypotheses The study clearly aimed to contrast the 1977 peer tutoring training program developed by Boraks & Allen, RPT (Reciprocal Peer Tutoring), with the more conventional direct adult-child tutoring in terms of effectivity. Furthermore, the study intended to discern what kind of differences, if any, were present in the application of the two aforementioned tutoring approaches in urban and suburban classroom environments, involving children of different ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. 3.
He believed that schools acted as a mini-society, people need to cooperate with other people who are neither family nor friends - teachers and pupils at school, colleagues and customers at work. In today's society, industrial economies have a complex division of labour, where production usually involves the cooperation of many different specialists. This cooperation promotes social solidarity but for it to be successful, each person must perform their role. Durkheim argued that education teaches individuals the specialist knowledge and skills that they need to play their part in the social division of labour. In the USA, Talcott Parsons (1902 - 1979) developed Durkheim's ideas.
Education according to Althusser reproduces inequality by preparing pupils for work in the wider society. School contribute to training pupils so they learn the rules and procedures of the workplace, and it helps to prepare us to accept the bourgeoisie’s ideologies. The process in which we learn to accept inequality is made up of two elements: the repressive state apparatuses which maintain the rules of the bourgeoisie through fear and force. The police, courts and the army are good examples of services within society that help keep them in power and separate them from the proletariats. Another service is called the ideological state apparatuses which maintain the same role, only they are responsible for controlling individual’s ideologies which include religion, media and the education system.
