1. "When schools and child care centers shut down last spring, 5.1 million American mothers stopped working for pay. Today, 1.3 million of them remain out of work." (The Pandemic Created a Child-Care Crisis. Mothers Bore the Burden, 2021, Claire Cain Miller)

2. "Fortunately, the long history of conflicting goals for American education prepares us for such a situation by providing us with countervailing values. These arise from our belief in the publicness of the public schools, a belief
that is reinforced by both of the other goals that have competed with social mobility within our politics of education. Both the democratic equality tradition and the social efficiency tradition are inherently hostile to the growing effort to reduce public education to a private good." (Public Goods, Private Goods: The American
Struggle Over Educational Goals, 1997, David Labaree)

1. "It not only encapsulated the anger of the moment, but also took Megan Thee Stallion's implicit politics — the expressions of power inherent in her songs' visceral embrace of women's sexuality — and turned them outward. Only Meg could take a performance on network television, mute every profanity and wind up sounding more explicit than ever." ('SNL' Musical Guests, Ranked From No. 1 To Morgan Wallen, 2021. Stephen Thompson, I read this article and listened to the accompanying NPR podcast in Week 3.)

2. "And pop culture studies are now a source of insight for other disciplines, including media studies, communications, and even the traditional disciplines of anthropology and psychology." (Chapter one from "Pop Culture: Introductory Perspectives," 2012, Danesi)

1. "Our Changing Identities Under COVID-19" written by Terry Bowles in 2020 talks about how the pandemic has changed our identities. Typically, this change has been for the worse, and the financial struggles that came with the pandemic also resulted in people not having the resources to cope with this change in identity.

2. "For Everyone" written by Jason Reynolds in 2018 is a poem about how everyone goes through the same struggles in life. The poem talks about how our identities are all formed and re-shaped based on the same hopes, dreams, and failures.

1. "Pandemic Pedagogy: Some Questions About Being “Successful” and Getting it 'Right'" was written by Erica Hamilton and Troy Hicks in 2020. The article is a series of questions that asks teachers and professors how they can best handle teaching during the pandemic for the sake of their students. The article also addresses the changes that need to be made when it comes to teaching during COVID-19.

2. "A Brief History of Education" was written by Peter Gray in 2008. The article talks about the history of schooling and education in the Unites States. Gray says that school is and always has been defined as children's work, and argues that society would be better off if it was really defined as playing instead of working.

1. Chapter two of Danesi's book "Pop Culture: Introductory Perspectives" was published in 2012. The chapter talks about the history of pop culture, and all of the different theories that exist surrounding the idea of pop culture.  The chapter also argues that pop culture has altered the way people think about social values, morals, and lifestyles.

2. In the TedTalk "Pop Culture is Dead" that came out in 2015, Phil Miller talks about how pop culture is formed, what pop culture looks like today, and how pop culture is influenced. He argues that pop culture has become such a broad term with so many things being categorized as "pop culture" and so many fads being a part of the term that pop culture doesn't even exist anymore.

From all of these readings, I would say that pop culture, schooling, and identity all intertwine and help create each other. Chapters one and two from Danesi's book "Pop Culture: Introductory Perspectives" show how schooling and pop culture help form a person's identity. "A Brief History of Education"  by Peter Gray also shows how schooling shapes and forms identity, even outside of the classroom. "Considering Your Multiple Personalities" by Sarah Gaither talks about how so many factors are involved in forming a person's identity, including school.
