As a result, June King McFee’ essay from the seminar stimulates the conversion of art, education and society to further investigation, and develop a feasible curriculum that would include the needs of the student.…
knew our name, our siblings, parents, and where we live. Never venturing out to other schools nearby, I had no recollection of other types of educational systems. Jean Anyon’s 1980 essay “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work” helped me take notice to a problem in school curriculums. Anyon is effective in the way her essay can be interpreted but it has not made any difference in school programs. Even though wealth may affect our educational system, it should be matched to fit the needs…

In the novel A Farewell to Arms it contains very explicit language, as well as sexual content, I believe that the novel should be kept in the high school curriculum because the novel also portrays a correct account of World War I Italy, while also the use of irony, and symbolism is superb. Hemmingway’s choice of diction throughout his novel can be best explained as vulgar, and explicit. There is a great controversy deciding whether or not to expose high school students to this harsh language.…
This first chapter from Moore’s book “Teaching and Learning: pedagogy, curriculum and culture”, which was published in 2012, examines 4 of what Moore believes to be the most ‘influential’ educational theories from the past 80 years with a focus on theories of language and learning.

To him, an…

especially in the curriculum. Progressivism teaches young people that there is no authority. It tells people that they learn from the nature and individual experience. Humanism teaches people that they are the center of the society. Christianity leads people to know God and the great creation. Therefore, Bible must be the foundation and context of a Christian approach to the curriculum, such as science, history, and music. The Bible is the foundation and context of the curriculum of science.…
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…
The Exposure of Music and Arts have Long Lasting Benefits: What Has Been Considered an “Extra” in School Curriculum is Actually Fundamental to Learning. Everything begins with a thought, each new invention or the direction a society embraces begins with someone who is willing to imagine something different. For years English, Math, Science, and Social Studies have been believed to be the basic building blocks of learning and the primary subjects based in our educational system.…
When I first read the article, “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work," by Jean Anyon, I was shocked at first, but then I came to the conclusion that this is reality. Everyday people are judged by their class in the economy. Everyday children are treated based on how much their parents income is. Living in a world that is so concerned with how much money one person is worth, is disturbing. Also, when teachers are placed in positions that they do not try to understand or respect their…
