Cultural capital and intersectionality

This article addresses many of the ways schooling and curriculum perpetuates the gender binary/heteronormative narrative implicitly or explicitly.

The myths that they talked about in the beginning (2010) made me want to dive more into the 4th one about religion - I imagine this is something teachers hear a lot from parents.

Micro and macro objectives--> made me think about what I want students to know vs. what I want them to learn. Not always explicit, but an important part of lessons is looking at the bigger picture of content and why it is important

Meyer is great! I think the clarity in which they express each theory of education is really helpful to understand the importance of queer theory within the way we look at education. It also was really reassuring to read the theories that show that educators/ education as something potentially supportive.

The habitus concept stood out to me - how your cultural capital's perceived worth affects your ambition and dreams for yourself.

I liked the framing of deterministic theory vs. theory that recognizes more individual agency. It made it easier to compare and contrast theories.

This reading was surprising but also made a lot of sense how capitalism has truly influenced so many aspects of our educational system. Bourdieu's cultural capital particularly stuck with me and how that is perpetuated within curriculums

Reading about the role of capitalism in our education system was really striking for me. I often wonder how and who would be educated differently if we lived in a system that didn't require the backbone of capitalism. Using reproduction theory was beneficial in terms of positioning where many students end up and what quality of education they have access to.

I really liked the clear definitions of terms.

I appreciated reading this piece because it clearly aligned how capitalist values are entrenched and reiterated in the educational system to continue the cycles of socioeconomic hardship for lower-class students. It forced me to reflect on how i uplift/stigmatize/essentialize certain life paths over others; or whether me choosing to push my students to want "better," or what I view as better, is actually depreciating the lives they come from.

Not gonna lie, this reading was really hard for me to get through, but I really learned a lot and it helped me understand a lot better.

This was my favorite reading. p.71 paragraph 4? How have certain pedagogical practices become so habitual or natural in school settings that teachers accept them as normal, unproblematic, and expected? How often for instance, do teachers question school practices...

This article was useful in the fact that it linked Reproduction Theory clearly to capitalism and talked about the spectrum the theorists were on. On one extreme it was a deterministic approach and on the other more culturally attuned models. It reinforced how much of a hold capitalism has on our educational system and it concerns me as in the UK, educators have recently been told that it will be illegal to be anti-capitalist teachers. So what do we do when we read research that shows the terrible effect capitalism has on education?

I really enjoyed the Meyer readings and also feel a little discouraged by reading them. Since oppressive ideologies are so deeply ingrained into our society and therefore deeply ingrained in our schools I was left feeling like there's only so much that can be done.

It really made me think about how/what/who I teach. I always feel that I want my students to become critical thinkers actively engaged in the world around them, but this reading challenged me to think about if I am doing enough for my students in order to achieve that

I had a really hard time finishing this reading because it was illustrating something I saw first hand working in rural Maryland. The administrators viewed the students as future Purdue Chicken packaging plant workers (that was the main employer in the are) and so their education was focused entirely on learning how to follow directions and obey authority.

I really liked the subsection where Meyer talked about how ignoring homophobia leads to/teaches intolerance. I thought that was an extremely strong point and I felt like it is something that is only now just getting addressed.

I also liked how Meyer broke down the prejudice that results on page 21.

YES! and...while it was nice to have all of these different theoretical/pedagogical approaches I wondered if this was the equivalent of affinity spaces, it seems divisive or counter-intuitive until you delve into it. I wonder how you can scaffold this for teachers so they can start to implement these concepts/frameworks in their teaching practices?
