We learned in the past weeks, 4-9, that schooling is based not only on race but class and gender as well. Schooling is not equal in giving the same education and oppurtunities because of these things. ]]> 2018-03-18 23:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243272128 Week 5: Education and Issues of Inequality md45 https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243274725 During week 5, we learned re-segrgation in schools. How whites were getting higher education, while African American and Latinos were not. In the reading, The Resurgence of School Segregation by Gary Orfield, he talked about he gaves us the numbers to show us how many whites to back ratio and percentages it was of them being in the same school and the differences in the education they were getting, and how educators must step in and save the day. 
"Some of the negative effects of education can be partially addressed, of course, by palcing better teachers in such schools, enriching the curriculum, making the schools safer, and implementing other changes" (Orfield, 2003).]]> 2018-03-18 23:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243274725 Week 6: Education & Issues of Inequality: Race, Class, and the Achievement Gap md45 https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243278203 During this week, we learned about the differences between reproductive and nonreproductive forms of education. We read about the social-class settings and what types of effects it has on students and what they learn. In Anyon's reading on “Social Class & School Knowledge,” I learned  how important knowing the differences between these two concepts of educating students in the manner of reproductive and nonreproductive. 
"The absence of traditional bodies of knowledge and ideology may make these children vulnerable to alternative ideas; the children may be more open to ideas that support fundamental social change" (Anyun, 1981).]]> 2018-03-18 23:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243278203 Week 8: Education & Issues of Inequality: Race, Class, and the Achievement Gap, part 3 md45 https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243280531 This week we learned how social class determines what education students get and how it plays a major role in the inequality of education. In the reading with Lareau and from the video with Baton Rouge, you could see how some classes felt privelged, for instance the middle class. You could see how class played a role in the reading, but you could also see race and class in the video played a big role in inequality of education. 
"Compared to the middle-class children, working-class and poor children participate in few organized activities and have more free time and deeper, richer ties within their extended families. Working-class and poor parents issue many more directives to their children and, in some households, place more emphasis on physical discipline than do the middle-class parents (Lareau, 2002).]]> 2018-03-19 00:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243280531 Week 9: Education and Issues of Inequality: Gender and Sexuality, part 1 md45 https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243281775 -Adolensce and how females deal with it
-Whta's expected of a young lady/women
-How they are treated compared to men and the pressures of being a female because of gender and the inequality of education because of it.

"Although the skewed equations of voice and silence are not the exclusive province of math or science, they are arguably the most damaging in those classes, where the tradition of male dominance is most entrenched" (Orenstein, 1994).]]> 2018-03-19 00:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243281775 Works Cited md45 https://padlet.com/md45/zoinasq4m7e5/wish/243282833 Anyon, Jean. “Social Class & School Knowledge.” Curriculum Inquiry 11, no.1 (1981): 3-42.
