    Sonia Sanchez advocates to a group of students at West Philly High, “I was supposed to be Norma. You were supposed to be Norma, too. I believe in the Normas of the world,” which reaffirms that one’s background does not dictate their future (Philly.com, n.d).

    According to John Taylor Gatto, author of “Against Schools,” the public education system “cripples” the children of today. In the reading, Gatto claims that the public education system causes children to become bored with themselves, to obey the way of the school and its teachers, and lacks to teach them the ability to deal with issues that go on in the real world, outside of school. Moreover, Jean Anyon, author of “From Social Class and Hidden Curriculum of Work,” compares and contrasts the different social class school systems. This includes, working class, middle class, affluent professional, and executive elite. As Anyon goes into detail about the interactions in the classroom between the teachers and the students, it appears that the higher the social class, the better the education provided is.…

    In the essay Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work by Jean Anyon, she explores how different social classes influence education. She achieves this by observing five different 5th grade classrooms that she divided into the categories of “Working Class,” “Middle Class,” “Affluence Professional,” and “Executive Elite.” A “Working Class” school is a school that values order and gives the teacher complete control over the students. These classrooms mainly work on copying and rote memorization without knowing the ‘how’ or ‘why’ behind what they are asked to do. An “Executive Elite” school is a school that values analytical and comparative thinking and they work on analyzing things and applying or comparing them to current situations or scenarios.…
