Week 9

I went to a Catholic school for all my schooling and majority of my classes were white privileged. The teachers I had in elementary school always said “once you hit high school the teachers will not baby you like we do here so we want to prepare you for high school”, which was not true in my case. In high school the teachers still hounded you about getting your assignments in and babied you until you got it in. I believe teachers need to encourage more individuality and accountability when it comes to homework. I find teachers are not preparing us enough for the real world. With my schooling I found we could “manipulate” the teacher to extend assignments or take an assignment out if all the students complained.

Some bias in the classrooms I have experienced are

-Students who stayed to help the teacher or talked a lot in class were more liked by the teacher

-The more athlete students were privileged and liked by the teacher
