This will allow us to improve.

Understand hidden curriculum with friends

brancom — 2025-02-03 01:14:58 UTC

Explanation: It is important to understand this because not everyone knows the rules that aren't said out loud. For example, assigned seating. Certain classes allowed you to sit anywhere you like. Then in college people sit in the same seat everyday and don't move around.

Understand hidden curriculum with teachers

brancom — 2025-02-03 01:15:01 UTC

Some allow you to use your phones for calculators, clocks etc. Other teachers will allow you to have them on your desk and use them for music. Others say not to bring them to class. Some teachers don't say anything and just expect kids to know the rule.
