Some ways schools prepare young students for different futures is by the tracking system, having different levels for students. Also when someone comes from a less fortunate home then they dont really know "common sense." Also schools prepare students by having a set of values and how you should treat teachers/other students, which helps you prepare for many kinds of futures.

Sociologists believe that opportunities for educational success are distributed unequally throughout the country's population and that the achievements of students reflects those inequalities. They also believe that socioeconomic statuses affect educational achievement distribution through expectations, motivation, environment, culture, independence, and the ability to pay. Overall, richer communities have more ability to be successful through education.]]> 2016-02-04 12:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93167301 jmccallum1 https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93172995 1.

What are some ways schools prepare young people for different futures?
     Social Control: Conflict sociologist believe that this control serves to produce unquestioning citizens who accept the basic inequalities of the social system. Children are taught to be punctual, stand in line, be quiet, and obey.
    Tracking: another way that the educational system maintains equality. This involves the assignment of  students to different types of educational programs, such as general studies, vocational training, and college preparatory studies.]]> 2016-02-04 13:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93173060 jmccallum1 https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93173187 1. How do Interactionist Sociologist look at education?
Interactionists believe that building a personal connection with the students will help boost the self confidence of the child. When the students see their selves and  other students being able to achieve greatly this pushes them to try harder and achieve more. ]]> 2016-02-04 13:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93173187 jmccallum1 https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93173231 2. Why are Interactionist Sociologist interested in the Self-fulfilling prophecy?

When students see their own prophecies and try to start achieving them that how is how they want to fulfill them. Other students see other kids trying very hard to get their goals they push just as hard. this also boosts their self confidence so much that it pushes them to do more.

Self-fulfilling prophecy definition- a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself due to positive feedback between belief and behavior.]]> 2016-02-04 13:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93173231 jmccallum1 https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93174759 1. What is the Functionalist perspective on education?

Functionalist sociologists believe that the functions performed by education work to maintain and perpetuate the stability and smooth operation of society. The most important are knowledge and skills, the transmission of culture, social integration, and occupational placement. Education helps provide individuals with approaches and solutions to new problems. Education expanded the middle class. Norms and social expectations are learned through the culture at the school. ]]> 2016-02-04 13:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93174759 jmccallum1 https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93174836 2. What facts about schools seem to be explained by the Functionalist perspective?

Schools in industrialized countries such as the U.S identify students who show special talents and abilities at a young age. The ultimate goal is to produce citizens who have internalized cultural norms and thus have learned to control their own behavior in the social world. The 5 primary social functions of education are socialization, cultural transmission, social control, social placement, and change and innovation.]]> 2016-02-04 13:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93174836 jmccallum1 https://padlet.com/jmccallum1/603qrjvo87e/wish/93271713     Education maintains social stability by transmitting  culture, teaching knowledge and skills, and preparing individuals for the  world of work
