EWRT1A section 31: Reading Response 2

This is the reading response for the Anyon essay. It is due on Tuesday.


Reading Response 2
Jean Anyon "Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work"
Choose one of the prompts below.

1. What attitudes towards knowledge and work are the students being taught in at least two of the four different types of schools? Provide specific examples. Do you see any evidence that schools you went to taught similar attitudes?

2. Given that all the schools Anyon looks at are public schools, what conclusion(s) can you draw from the very different ways they teach students? In other words, why are the differences significant? In your response, please show examples of the differences and explain how these relate to your conclusion.

3. Connect Anyon with Freire. Show how the schools Anyon describes fit into Freire's categories of education. Be sure to explain why each school fits into each category. What conclusion(s) can you draw from this?
