    He went on for a bit on how he would look at the student differently and then said “unless you want to forget about this”. This seemed like a personal threat to the student with grading and the general relationship with Reshetov. We found this extremely inappropriate, especially due to the fact that the student had already explained to his authority that her “disrespect” was not intentional and apologized for the way she came across. We understand that students can be disrespectful, and that should never be tolerated, but this was an extreme reaction to a student whose intent was not to be uncivil or ill-mannered. We are very scared that something that we might say could be misinterpreted and cause him to look at us in a negative way.…

    There is a stark contrast between the working and middle class schools’ interactions between teachers and students and those of the affluent professional and executive elite schools. At the working class school, many of the decisions the teachers made were made with neither an explanation nor the consultation of the students. Teachers also typically spoke to the students disrespectfully: the investigator seldom heard the teachers give an unsarcastic “please,” “let’s,” or “would you”; rather, they would directly order students to shut up. The students, meanwhile, often struggled to stay quiet and were resistant to the teacher’s orders. In the middle class school, the level of control the teacher has depends on the teacher: some are relaxed, whereas others are stern.…
