It is super important for young people to have friendship and relationships in classrooms otherwise it can effect learning. I have seen isolated students and they tend to be less engaged.

Social conformity

Ive experienced and seen social conformity as a social factor in school. When I was in school I myself conformed to the norms and things other kids were doing instead of trying to do things my own way because I wanted to be accepted and liked. I also see this in my placement as I have seen kids avoid being creative and choose topics for projects and their art that are normal in other kids eyes to go along with and conform to what they think other kids will accept.

Throughout my secondary school experience I felt I was constantly trying to find my place or where I belonged within the school. Conforming to the norms of what society expected and what the student population expected from you to "fit in"

Behavioural conformity

Many students conform to their peers ' behavior based on my experience and education. It is one of the significant social factors that affect students' education. It causes students to do poorly in class because they want to "fit in" to the popular standard. Furthermore, students tend to conform to the norms when they see them on social media, and the effect of FOMO will force a disparity in education equality.

During elementary school, I tried to fit in with my peers and make friends, gaining teacher approval and recognition in-class work/projects. Wanting parents, adults, and teachers to be proud of me.

Conformity was a big issue in development especially in high school. Kids feel the need to just fit in an do what others or their friends are doing. It is beneficial and detrimental depending on who the youth feels they should emulate or fit in with. The problem is that there is an absence of critical thinking and forethought and planning for ones self. For example, i went to university because all my friends were talking about it, because their siblings ha been talking about it and planning for it. 80% of us had no idea what we were planning to do with this education. It was just the thing to do.

Well, I struggled with social conformity. I still do. I didn't want to be like other people. I still don't really want to. I'm more interested in being a better version of myself. Still, that urge of conformity, and the pressure, it caused me problems in one direction or the other.

Social Conformity

In my placement and my own educational experiences I have seen how the pressure to fit in with different groups of people can cause students to change the way in which they present themselves. Some students depending on who they are paired with will act, talk, and dress in a way that will allow them to fit in within that crowd. In schools there is this constant pressure for students to not only just have friends but have the most friends and be "popular" so students will often conform to these standards set up by the students in the school so that they can go through school in what they think would be a comfortable easy way, instead of just trying to be themselves.

Dress Codes

The reading explains that students tend to reject school rules which they perceive as arbitrary and/or unfair. In my high school, the dress code policy was very controversial. This was because the rules were all female-specific (i.e. "girls must not..."), and teachers often targeted the more physically developed girls. My high school's dress code policy reinforced harmful gender stereotypes, and damaged the self-image of my peers and I.

The dress code at my school was sexist. Such rules like tank tops had to be two fingers wide and kilts could only be 10 cm above your knee. There were not rules for the boys. It made for some uncomfortable situations when a male teacher would comment on how a female student was breaking the rules of the dress code.

I had a student call a teacher racist and it has ripple effect. The student was just joking but it could have been serious
