The topic I
will be discussing is on how schools can work to stop social class stereotypes.
How can schools prevent people from judging or learning about a certain person,
of culture without getting to really know themselves? Stereotypes become created from the main
sources which are schools, teachers, and textbooks. If there is more open communication, and less
judging in schools less stereotypes wouldn’t be created. You should get to know
someone one, but that is hard when humans create a first impression in three
seconds or less. If all students went to
school in the same uniform, there would be nothing to make fun of. If your
parents paid for your school, and you go to public school you should learn the
same studies. Going to school you should not be critsized for the way you walk,
talk, and even the way you dress. In school we should be focused more on
cultures backgrounds, and different varieties of people, then wasting time on
wars, Hitler or Murtha Luther King. People
and wars are taught in school, which gives student’s thoughts and appeals right
away that they carry on and use in real life. School is supposed to teach
students to change as we grown and learn throughout life. We should not be
taught anything in school that pertains to causing future stereotypes against certain
people. Serious attention needs to be focused
on school work, and developing expressive ideas about each person’s own unique
self. There would be less judging in the
school systems and more compromising together as a team then enemies. In school students need to focus the attention
on achieving, exceling, and preparing them for life. I have two pictures that
relate to my topic social class stereotype in schools. In the first picture the back ground is blank,
there’s no theme but white. In my first picture I see a group of many students
who are all different. There’s a bag hanging up with words on it but too far to
see. Each student is wearing their own
style clothes that makes them show they each have their own individual style to
life. One of the girls is a cheerleader;
the other is nerdy with classes. One of the students is heavy set, and one
looks like a jock with the football team coat on. One looks very productive, the
other male student looks angry at the world, one female looks like she’s in a uniform
with a mysterious look on her face. One of the male students is a different face;
he has head phones on with his arms crossed with a big smile across his face,
looking very happy to be him. All these people in this picture are different
but are next to each other for many reasons. There are different people who all
end up coming from different states and counties to learn together for a
brighter education, and future that’s come along with that to. I think the
author put all these different students together to show when we look at the
picture of different people from school, we see that right away we have these stereotype
names we created, like prep, jock, nerd,. Now schools in this generation
already automatically no these stereotype names that have been created over
years throughout life. When walking down the hallways in our head, or whispering
to a friend what we know from a person’s outside appearance in stereotyping. Many
people need to come together in schools of different areas to stop the stereotyping.
People don’t need to judge they need to get to know a person inside and outside
to understand why a certain person talks, walks, or dresses the way he or she prefers.
The main idea is everyone is different,
and schools need to start expanding personalities and different backgrounds of
people then the unnecessary junk we learn that does not help us become better citizens
in society. In my next picture for
different classes of schools stereotyping would be a group of students in a
uniform. These students are still different races like my first picture. The students
look very concerned and deep into learning. All the students are dressed in the same varieties
of colors such as green, brown, and white. The teacher is standing next to a student
helping a girl. The teacher is dressed just like the students so it gives the
students no reason to judge and pretray a certain idea about her in their
heads. All students go to school dressed the same, it saves parents money and
kids don’t have nothing to talk about just something to learn about. In my
picture there is a classroom setting with small TV and white board full of a
lesson the teacher just taught. In the classroom there’s also a chalkboard in
the classroom to the left of where the students are sitting. When kids are
walking down the halls all students are dressed the same. No students would be
able to class someone in a category if they really don’t know. You can put
someone in a social class stereotype in school by the same clothes, but you can
if they were in a mixture of a Varity of clothes it would be different. I think
if all students went to school to understand the true meaning of learning important
educational learning there would be no social class stereotypes such as preppy,
or nerdy, or jock in school systems. I
think my second picture is showing students in uniforms, doesn’t need to come from
private school. It could come from all different kinds of social class schools
to. If a student is engaged in the learning the same way all students around
them are the same then it would draw more attention to having communication skills,
and personalities then it has been with the different stereotypes that are all
in different schools.
