Stereotypes In Classroom

typical school classroom conjures up images of boys and girls coexisting, raising their hands in equal numbers. However, that’s not always the case. According to 2010 data from NCES and the U.S. Census Bureau, from prekindergarten to senior year of high school, male students outnumber female students significantly in public school classrooms: 54 percent to 46 percent in pre-K and 51 percent to 49 percent from first grade to 12th grade.So with the disproportionate stats in the American classroom, is it beneficial

In a classroom with grey-blue carpet and starch white walls, my 3rd grade class and I sat nervously gripping our pencils. From my seat, the small American flag blocked the clock, but I was positive we had been sitting in silence for hours. Our teacher migrated between pods of desks and placed thin, light grey test booklets in front of each student. I reached forward to touch the pages that felt like the glossy outside of a newspaper. Mrs. Lewis’s navy heels clicked back to the front of the room and

The academic subjects I excel in are history, mathematics, science, and Spanish. It is a typical stereotype that since I am an Asian American, I love equations and numbers. I happen to fall under this phrase because ever since I was a little kid, I loved numbers. To my current day, I have a keen sense of how math and science are used in life just as any other subject. I found out that I am a deductive and inductive reasonable person because I learned it in my Theory of Knowledge class dealing with

The experiment in the journal indicated that academic failure is primarily environmental not genetic (Bijou, 1963) as it might have being speculated. It also established that for children to be more efficient in language skills, the environment has to be created in that fashion. To prove such assertion, this setting was created where objects of different colors and shapes were gathered to test the descriptive skills of the participant. The participant between 4 and 5 years of age from culturally

Kevin sat nearest to the door of our small classroom. “Shh!” “Shh!” He said, “Here she comes!” “Hurry up everybody.” “Climb into your seats.” “I hear her pounding footsteps.” “She’s almost here!” In the late 1960s, my second-grade teacher, Ms. Dickerson, was needle thin, a conservative dresser, and strutted a tall stiff-looking hairdo. She also carried a no-nonsense steel rod in her personality, and if all her 25 students were not quiet, knees forward and sitting-up straight, when she

Participants The participants in this research project are the number of students in my first grade classroom, as well as myself who is the teacher and action researcher, participant. The gender and ethnicity will be incorporated in the demographics of the participants. Additionally, the makeup of my classroom participants’ percentages, participating in free or reduced lunch will be identified. Finally, the demographic percentages of the students who are repeaters, % of students who have an IEP

During the summer before my junior year I truly felt that I transitioned from a child to the person that I am today. An event happened which became such a huge turning point in my life that I barely even recognized myself after it transpired. It occurred during volleyball camp, when one of my closest friends and I were sitting in the locker room waiting for the day to start. Our conversation started off with simple small talk. Then, completely out of the blue she told me something that felt like

order for teachers to ensure the academic success of all students, they should know their students’ academic strengths and weaknesses individually, rather than relying on racial experiences and/or stereotypes. As we go into our classrooms each day, some teachers carry racial experiences and/or stereotypes about certain groups of people to base their decisions and form the way they treat these groups in oppose to other groups. We are not holding ourselves to the Golden rule, thus making unethical decisions

I agree with the authors in the text that we are prone to natural prejudices based on our experiences and learning. I try my best to judge people on their merit, but find myself stereotyping people based on initial impressions. My tenure in education has been long enough that I am beginning to see children of students I taught approximately twenty years ago. With this comes certain assumptions about their character that is associated with the impression I remember from their parent. One particular

These classrooms treat males and females incredibly differently and stereotypically “In one instance, boys had an electronics day, where they could bring in all their electronics and play them if they behaved, while girls did not. In another, the teacher in a girls' classroom gave each girl a dab of perfume on her wrist for doing a task correctly (Sherwin, 2014). There are also incidents of this in our home state of Idaho. According to the ACLU in Middleton School District, boys in male classes
