Question:Read the article, “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work,” by Jean Anyon. Note how the different sample schools, which cater to different social classes, socialize different types of behaviours in their students. Notice, for example, how upper-class schools emphasize free thinking and train students to disagree and discuss. Notice how lower-class schools emphasize routine, conformity, and rule following.
Next look at your own education and the schools you went to and identify the social class of your primary and secondary school. Was it working class, middle class, or upper class? Provide examples of the types of skills, values, and behaviours that were imposed on you through your socialization and, therefore, became part of your identity.
