I  never had a bad experience in school. I grew up in a solid middle class area. My school was filled with everyone from the small local community. One of my teachers even taught my aunt! As I read “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work” I found my education experience with school throughout the years was exactly like Ayon described the middle class schools. 

          Anyon describes middle class schools’ as curriculum that is based on getting enough right answers to get a good grade. I believe all my teachers taught this. Every test and every worksheet was graded by how many right answers. Learning how to test correctly was consisted of knowing how many you would have to get right. This strange and erie similarity was alarming. Not coming from a working class area, I did not realize the drastic difference in education there is. It is very unfair that the working class students get treated different from the other schools. It is concerning. Teachers must also realize that not all working class schools need to focus on behavior problems. I wonder if they would treat the kids as they treated the children in the middle class if they would still need to focus on the behavior because the kids would possible feel like they were being treated “better”.

 

            Anyon research however is very outdated. Many reforms have been put on schools nowadays.  It is fair to say that these interpretations hold a lot of truth for the time but further research must be done to conclude that this evidence was recurring and completely valid. All students should have the same education. Having the same education across the board can actually show who is talented in school and who is not. Giving everyone the same curriculum would generalize and create a more trusted system. In my opinion I don't think social class should determine what kind of educationsomeone will receive.
