What responsibility do you think we have as a nation and community to our youth and to education? How can we uphold and commit ourselves to that responsibility?

School is often one’s first experience being socialized around others their own age. Social norms are established at school, students adopt mutual feelings of inclusion and exclusion. School also has the potential to be one’s first introduction to a capitalist system.

Group 8 -

Major role: norms, values, behaviors, etc. The amount of time in school vs at home can have equal impact on youth. Teachers have big impacts on how students see themselves and the world. This impacts our way we see ourselves in the place we have in the world (roles). Which impacts our socialization

Group 6- Student and teacher relationship, teacher has more power and no voice in speaking out its often times being seen as talking back and the schools shutting down someone's response.

Group 4 --- Schools are responsible for most of the socialization children receive as they grow up. In school, they are exposed to social norms and are often primed for hierarchies present in social structures as well as the workforce. Additionally, students are exposed to different personalities and cultures in school, allowing them to learn how to navigate through different situations with different types of people.

Schools play a fundamental role in the socialization of youth by shaping their behaviors, values, and social norms. Unwritten lessons that teach students about societal expectations, authority, and social hierarchies. Schools reflect and reinforce societal structures. They act as agents of social control, ensuring students adopt behaviors and ideologies that sustain existing power dynamics. The economic system also plays a role—education systems are often designed to produce workers suited to different economic roles, maintaining social stratification. Additionally, cultural expectations shape curricula and teaching methods, perpetuating dominant ideologies.

Schools play their roles by providing options for kids to get involved in sports, clubs, and through class interactions. Sometimes teachers my give students free range to explore these avenues and sometimes kids may feel the social pressures that in turn keep them from being open to a social experience.

Schools help children learn how to behave and interact with others. By spending time with classmates, children develop communication skills and make friends. This process prepares them to be responsible and cooperative members of society.

group 6- in the traditional education system the method of narrative teaching (robotic, lecture-style, memorization) is so normalized. This social norm is then imposed onto the youth's socialization. There is a social hierarchy in a classroom where there is a power imbalance within the teacher and student. That social hierarchy is heavily influencing the youth's socialization

The banking concept of education-teachers teach and students learn/memorize topics but are not really understanding them and critically thinking. Teaches youth to follow whatever teachers say. It plays into that hierachy system. Group 6

Our responsibility is to keep education fun and interactive to foster a good learning environment. Making sure they fee supported in all ways can be helpful too.

Group 4 — We have a responsibility to provide an education that is based in truth to the youth. Additionally, students must see themselves and their experiences being reflected in classrooms/class material to ensure their engagement in school and learning overall.

Group 3 - Schools play a role where they expect students to behave in a certain way that is socially normal and believe in the system to succeed. However when students do not believe in the system or the school issues arise.

G6- Giving out a space for students to have a voice for their own because we ourselves have the experience of being shutdown.

2025-02-19 21:15:29 UTC

Group 3 - Teachers need to be role models or mentors where they display or uphold good standards and good education for students to believe in and succeed.

The youth is the future therefore I think there's a lot of responsibility to make sure we are raising the next generation of critical thinkers and collaborative community members. We can do this by advocate for policies and practices that promote equity and inclusion in schools and empowering students to use their voice and be agents of change.
