As a teacher, the language and tone I use in class and towards students can create this same feeling. Students may not want to talk to me or in front of the class. They may refuse to complete any work.

If teachers are unaware of their biases, students of color may be sent to the office more often. Male students may be placed more often in an intervention setting vs. females. Students are constantly in fear of getting into trouble or vise-versa, become frustrated with the unfairness and act out. Thus, if a school has a zero tolerance policy then "schools have been become increasingly intolerant of young people..." (Giroux 559).

I was quiet and told what to do. 
I followed the rules 
and kept my mouth glued.
I am older now and I see 
that too many people
were making choices for me. 
I decided to be a teacher, 
not a preacher.
I want my students to learn 
that they are able and free
to think for themselves 
in this society. 
They will get older 
and hopefully bolder
and will shine a light for the youth.
Then, with time, 
ageism will decline and liberation becomes the truth.

Become an ally to both the youth and the elder. Acknowledge your own prejudices and stereotypes in order to bring about change.]]> 2019-04-08 17:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/torresghs211/hj7xt3e5en1w/wish/349632913 torresghs211 https://padlet.com/torresghs211/hj7xt3e5en1w/wish/349632914 Voices  included in this chapter are both youth and elder Native Americans and elder people of color. Additional voices include every human being on this planet beginning from a baby (starting point in Harro's Cycle of Socialization) until our time on the planet has ended. Here is a place you can include YOUR VOICE...

Both  are socially constructed; society deems the expectations, roles, and behaviors. "Both young and elders have internalized the belief that decisions regarding their lives are appropriately made by members of the dominant group (middle-aged adults)" (Dejong and Love 548). ]]> 2019-04-08 17:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/torresghs211/hj7xt3e5en1w/wish/349632918
