Educational Marginalization In Education

Furthermore, knowledge of social disadvantage, cultural diversity, and inequality of students can broaden educators' understanding. Knowledge in these areas can be understood as forming part of the ‘hidden curriculum’. Blaise & Nuttall (2011) describe the hidden curriculum as unintentional actions which surround curriculum (p. 82). Due to the importance of the impact of factors in the hidden curriculum, it can be understood that it is critical for teachers to develop a broad understanding of the hidden curriculum so that they can be mindful while interpreting and delivering curricular experiences. Teachers need to consider the hidden curriculum to ensure children's needs are acknowledged and that a safe environment that is free from stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination is

For my historical conversations project, I want to focus upon the racial bias that is present within and negatively impacts our modern education system. I want to illustrate that racial bias is still present today, despite any major counter arguments, through two major factors including: faculty support towards colored students vs. non-colored and the distribution of school funds upon being dependent upon the ethnic make-up of the student population. I want to make this point to show how the U.S. education system has yet to achieve equal education opportunities for everyone, greatly affecting the success rates throughout a wide array of institutions from lower grade public schools to higher education at the university level. Even though I am

Individuals should learn to accept themselves for who they are, not what society wants them to accept. As we continue to evolve, we build up our own characters, and they are typically a mix of the ethnicity and culture we inherit from our family, various encounters in our life, distinctive identity and personality we have. Our character and identity is not something that we get easily, it's an intricate process. The story “The Other Family” by Himani Bannerji is based on a mother and a daughter who immigrates to Canada. They belong to a black family, but after the immigration they are living in the dominance of the white society.The school is considered as the hegemony of Canada and teacher is considered as the mainstream, it is a sort of social institution that a hegemony shape but they does not know the awareness of marginalized groups. The mother feels anxious when she sees a drawing of a white family by her daughter. It was the misperceptions of the kid that lead to forget her identity or she was too small to identify it. So to examine about the identity of the marginalized individual the beginning is to focus on the quality of the education. It is necessary for every school system to teach equality and inclusions of every group status so that the marginalized group are not left isolated from the society. Secondly, the fear of the marginalized parents from losing their kids in the mainstream society shows their lack of confidence in their own cultural pride. Since

Racial disparities exist in every aspect of our society. It exists in religion, socioeconomic status, life-chances, media, etc. It affects everyone even if they realize or not. Education is one of the things that are also affected by the racial stratification occurring in the United States. In this paper I will look in to whether Tennessee is better or worse for educational advancement by comparing four races and their high school graduation rates on the national and state levels. The four races used will be; Asian, Black, Hispanic/Latino, and White. I will then tie specific theories to why these disparities may exist. This will hopefully give insight in to this touchy topic and provide a starting point for correcting the gap.

“From the surface one may look upon Australia as being the ‘lucky county’ however when explored deeper Kayleigh Richmond came to the conclusion that this so called ‘lucky country’ isn’t all that ‘lucky’ for marginalized groups in Australia, the literature of these marginalized groups in Australia certainly substantiates this point”.

For the first century of the United States, Congress had a restricted but active position in education, which expanded after the Civil War in 1865. At that time, the federal government mandated new union states to offer free public schools and established an early form of the Department of Education. From the late 1930s to the early 1990s, the Supreme Court's opposition to congressional power decreased, clearing the way for a greater federal role in education. The federal role in education increased as Congress provided funding for the construction of schools, teacher salaries, and school lunch programs. However, this assistance was geared toward wealthier school districts, which negatively impacted poorer, urban schools (Martin, 2012).

Growing up in a conservative area of the United States i have experienced marginalization first hand. During my time at Douglas High School it has become apparent that not everyone is accepting of homosexuals. During my freshman year of highschool I was out to several of my friends. Meanwhile, some other classmates heard and started outing me to everyone else at the school. I was not really upset at first until i realized how much it would affect me in the future. Consequently i noticed people started to treat me a lot differently. I was really close friends with some members of the football team and even the basketball team. Because i was outed by some other students, my “friends” wouldn't even talk to me anymore. They would talk about me

As teachers, we operate in a world of assumptions about the communities that we work in, the students that we serve, and ourselves. Most of us live in a world where the assumptions remain a hidden subtext in our lives, as something that dictates how we interact with others but yet does not actually come to the surface. Because we are not critically aware of these forces, we assume that this is the way that things are supposed to be, never asking if this is working to oppress other people. Unfortunately, because teachers are not critically aware of the damages that these assumptions, in the form of biases and privilege, can cause to students, they allow a cycle of oppression to continue when do not fit into the ‘perfect student’ ideal. When

According to the text, education is defined as the social institution responsible for the systematic transmission of knowledge, skills, and cultural values within a formally organized structure (Kendall, p. 462). Every human has a right to an education. Despite this definition, evidence of inequality based on race, class, and gender can be seen in the system despite good intentions to promote awareness of and appreciation for cultural differences.

One of the concerns regarding social justice in education is that there are marginalised groups within society do not having equal access to the learning and life opportunities that they deserve. The concept of social justice stresses that every individual within society is entitled to have equal rights and opportunities. This means that an individual from a lower class background deserves the same opportunities as a person from a wealthier background. It is about becoming aware and recognising that there are certain situations where the application of the same rules to unequal groups can sometimes lead to imbalanced results. It is therefore crucial that the government create a curriculum that can empower every student regardless of their

Fernsten & Reda’s reasoning of providing historical evidence to call importance to a need of supporting students must take into account the danger of further marginalizing students or creating assumptions. “The danger of making assumptions is ever lurking. Hatt-Echeverria and Urrieta (2003) discussed the compartmentalization of oppression, institutionalized in schools and society with

Children must all have education no matter what even if they are just simply poor and are not having the best quality of life, “The 77-page report, “‘They Say We’re Dirty’: Denying an Education to India’s Marginalized” (India 1). A difference in humankind is a common act of becoming an outsider, which is not ok, because everyone on earth that are human’s are humans, which brings up the fact that disrespecting another of one’s kind is simply cruelty. A difference in how one was born does not give an excuse to the people who are acting upon it because it is disrespect towards all human kinds and being excluded and isolated because of this one fact does not prove one’s quality. There are many people in the world who do not receive equal rights because of how they look and because “of their living conditions” (India 2). When a newborn is born, they are innocent and do not qualify to be part of anything that had earlier happened to their parents, which brings up the fact that their living conditions do not describe in words who they are and why they are living there. People living in bad-conditioned areas can be possibly living there because of their poor wealth or because they have many of their friends and families their, which has been proven and confirmed that excuses of these kinds will not be tolerated for marginalizing

Our high level of ethnicity at Djanogly City Academy and the cultural differences located in the immediate catchment area pose a variety of barrier to learning. We have a high number of learners in receipt of free school meals, this has implication when learners from poorer backgrounds cannot afford the kits and equipment needed for the course of study. Many of our learners are Muslim and cannot remove their headscarves in front of male members of the group, which can have implications in relation to inclusivity also, as someone may miss out on a practical aspect because they themselves cannot take part.

There are many ways of merits of supporting the rights of all the children and young people to participation and equality access to education. One of these is that it raises the overall achievement in the education settings and it’s easy to access the curriculum of their schools without any problem if equality is being promoted between individuals.
