Stereotypes In The Classroom

Stereotypes have a big affect on society today from young to old they affect everyone. However though we are talking about Dinuba Students, on how stereotypes affect them and everyone around them on campus. Being stereotyped in high school is tough it’s like bullying or judging others on what you think about them.

In today’s mainstream society, the media creates various of negative thoughts and stereotypes in different forms. These forms include class, gender, and sexuality. Day by day images or videos go viral creating these negative issues spreading like wildfire throughout the web. For instance, if an image or meme is created and posted online of someone who is identifies themselves as something other than straight, or someone from a low-class people go and share these images just for their entertainment. Instead of society, trying to eliminate this type of media they are promoting it. It is quite rare when someone stands up for someone who is being negatively affected by this. A website named AAUW with their motto being “Empowering women since 1881”. There motto there is quite strong it gives a short description what they are about. An article composed by AAUW named “Why Stereotypes Are Bad and What You Can Do about Them” is a strong article that explains what are stereotypes, why should we care about stereotypes and biases, and what we can do to combat stereotypes and bias. Articles and website like this should be shared more thought out society in order to put an end to gender stereotypes.

Some common stereotypes I have heard include women are bad drivers, are not good at math, and love shopping. Of these three stereotypes, I think the first two can do the most harm. After all, if someone is being told they will be a bad driver or that they will not do well in math, I think they are likely to not try as hard or subconsciously worry and not do as well. The third stereotype is mainly harmless, though it is annoying when someone simply assumes it is true. No two people are alike. However, there are those who I relate to easier because of similar hobbies, shared beliefs, and similar life experiences. Whenever I meet or interact with those who are notably different than me I am generally open minded. However, when deciding if I want to become friends with someone I usually take several factors into consideration; some of which

The media portrays high schools being full of identity stereotypes, whether it is in movies, TV shows, or sometimes music. Each school has the group of star athletes, the kids bound for broadway, and the kids who could become the next Einstein. Every show or movie has the same supporting character who each belonged to different cliques.

Have you ever been judged before for the smallest and unimportant things you can imagine? Or maybe you have seen others getting judged for the way they act or dress. On September 16, at James Giles School 7th and 8th graders were having lunch and recess. The students were having a good time talking playing games and eating lunch naturally having a good time. A group of 7th grade girls were talking and suddenly another girls joined them. The girls that joined them was their friend because they would go to the park together and walk together after school. The girls didn't like the idea of joining them. The girls started being mean and judging her of what she wore to school. People that judge others in a mean way know that its mean and hurtful

Being a teacher can give you a rollercoaster of emotions. There are so many ups and downs to think about when considering the profession of teaching. Being in a classroom full of students with very different backgrounds, ideas, attitudes and personalities could be a lot to juggle for someone who isn’t ready to handle it. I think in this case it would be pretty hard to make sure each and every one of your students is happy and successful 100% of the time. But there are certain cases where you can be that teacher that lifts a student up and makes them forget about all of their external issues and makes school their happy place.

Though we may say words don’t hurt us, they do in one form or another. By the middle of fourth grade instead of being known as the nice girl as I was in my old school, I became the outcast. It all began when one of the girls in my group had a comment about why I was in school when I could be doing her yard work. It was the furthermost embarrassing moment in my entire life, and while all the students laughed uncontrollably all I could do is hide my face in shame. This moment had sparked the never ending bullying that was my fourth and fifth-grade year. While walking the hallway’s boys would call me “illegal” and, of course, a “wetback”. Though I find it humorous now, this was undoubtedly the ultimate dilemma I faced living in Georgia. Two

From third grade until my first year of high school I attended a private school. Trinity Christian school, a predominantly protestant school, (while still accepting of catholics and other denominations of christianity) also was attended by a vast majority of white students. There were, however, multiple people of color in my class that I made friends with: A Filipino kid by the name of Joven, and two African American kids, Deantre and Cortez. They were very nice people, and I’m glad to have met them. They were smart, compassionate, and funny in their own ways. They were my starting exposure to people of color, and I’m glad I met such good people. I had only experienced stereotypes and racism through the news and the internet at my relatively young age, never experienced them first hand.

As I have grown up, I have developed strong beliefs/opinions on the five following issues that may differ from my peers. Race, social class, gender, religion, and sexual orientation all have different conflicts and stereotypes in today’s society, and they are all very important. However, I don’t think the my statements on those issues are important in society. Yes, they are important to me because they make up who I am. But they have little effect on those around me, because as I’ve gotten older I’ve also learned that whether people differ from me or not, I should show them love, and respect, and treat them as I would treat anyone who has the same beliefs or appearance as myself. As I have gotten older and decided where I stand on these issues,

For over 20 years, instructors and people are confronting an issue that youths whose people stop their vehicle in the point of convergence of the stopping region and send their children over the stopping territory towards the play zone since they are getting late to work. Since this happens not in an allocated carport but instead in the school stopping zone, there is the extra hazard of drivers leaving the parking structure not ready to see the children who may be walking around the part. Regulations have a little effect, as the instructor on the field confronts numerous issues and it is troublesome for teacher to control. Likewise an issue of speedy solace much of the time overrides the subject of

An accurate representation of the type of student I am cannot be determined by the amount of questions I get right on a test. My intelligence shouldn’t be judged by a score. My GPA, class rank and test scores aren’t a clear portrayal of whom I am and the heights I’m able to reach. The stereotypes that have been ironed into the society about my culture has imprinted its way into the early stages of my high school career. I had a mindset that didn’t clearly draw a picture of the type of scholar I am. I was content with having a C’s in a class. Going around telling myself that it was ok to be mediocre throughout high school, and I’d be fine in life. But I was soon woken up by a teacher who saw more in me than I ever saw in myself. He saw potential

School has always treated both sexes the same; a different approach should be taken when teaching boys in class. Boys think and act differently when compared with girls, so why treat them the same? During High School the phase of puberty begins with most boys. This is when you see them turn into men. Everyone knows that they grow larger and more muscular, but many don’t understand what’s going on in the developing males mind. A rush of testosterone is produced in the body that changes the way they act; this rush of testosterone often brings along aggressive behavior with it. Teachers often discipline males into believing that their actions during this phase are improper; but I disagree.

I will first do two separate observations. My first observation is going to be at a coffee shop here in East Lansing where a lot of students my age tend to go to meet up with other students. My plan is to observe where two or more people meet up together at the coffee shop and record how many times each person pulls out their phone. In order to fit the stereotype of my generation based on people from older generations, the numbers would be high of how many times phones are pulled out during a conversation. My next observation is going to be at a coffee house in Grand Rapids, where I live and at a coffee shop where there are a majority of non -students and an older clientele. I will go through the same process and compare the numbers to see

Braden seated in the corner of the classroom most of the class time. During one activity he got up of his seat and joined two 6th graders boys to answer questions on a race using their iPads. His team won the race, and then he went back to his seat and stayed there while the rest of the students were moving around during the presentations and activities.

The bright sunny day begins with tired but excited students walking into a classroom on the first day of class, many of the students first struggle of the day will being finding a pace to sit. The teacher will begin to go over the syllabus once everything has settled down. In the front of the class students with notebooks and pencils diligently taking notes; in the back, the daydreamers or jokers; and in the middle, the in between students. The middle students visibly playing with their phones, falling asleep, or attempting to take notes but being distracted from the various distractions around them. This is how students organize themselves in classrooms. Sometimes the organization is unintentional: they make friends with similar backgrounds,
