The Caton School is located in the Flatbush, Ditmas Park area in western Flatbush. The Caton School P.S 249 is a school in Brooklyn, New York, its population according to New York City Department of Education. With a gross enrollment of 894 students in the school year of 2015 to 2016, P.S 249, serves grades pre-kindergarten to fifth grade including special education classes. The student demographics consist of 6% Asian, 40% black, 49% Hispanic, and 4% percent white students. Thus, we may conclude that the majority of the population is of a minority background.
I observed three different classrooms during my time at the Caton school; 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. This school had scheduled tasks at the beginning of the day from 9:45 to 10:30 throughout …show more content…
The star teacher did not parent bash nor did purpose any type of punishment. In the 5th grade Class I attended a similar situation that appeared in the book of a child perpetually not being homework assignments. The teacher of the class Mrs. Carpenter displayed the hypothetical actions of the teacher that was not considered a star teacher. Mrs. Carpenter took away recess privileges for the student who didn’t complete their homework assignment. Haberman states that start teachers do not look to punishment as a means of discipline.

For example, in the fourth-grade class I went to, Mrs. Linderg had a marble jar for the class, if the class miss behaved or didn’t adhere to watch she instructed the class to do she would take away from the marble jar. This form of capital punishment was used through every class room I visited. In comparison to watch Haberman’s theories of what makes a star, theses teachers’ methods are not going to produce academic excellence, however, I question the legitimacy of Haberman’s theory when applied outside the poverty line. Although the majority of students are of a minority decent, it is not my belief that majority of these students are poverty stricken. Therefore, I don’t believe that all of Haberman’s theories of what makes a star student necessary apply to every school learning environment; also Haberman’s book and theories was gather at different
