- - - - Strikes
        
        Interviews were done to get to
        
        Only one kid agreed with the strikes
      - Different Classes
        
        High Class
        
        high-class doesn't want the low-class connected with them.
        
        The high-class doesn't want to stray away from the status quo that their community has developed. The ones who don't believe in segregating still follow what their high-class community says because they don't want to be the outsider.
        
        Plausibility: I do believe this how people still think but I don't believe that this is how it should be. If all men are created equal, then why don't we follow that just because the community you live says you can't. -Makynna
        
        high-class got taught differently than lower-class
        
        "The data suggest that knowledge in this executive elite school is academic, intellectual, and rigorous. There is an attempt to teach more, more difficult, concepts than in any other school. Knowledge results not from personal activity or attempts to make sense, but from following rules of good thought, from rationality and reasoning." (Anyon, 31)
        
        The higher-class schools have more expected of them but also have more handed to them. They are expected to succeed at higher paying and better jobs than lower-class people are expected to. They have a lot more privileges and get special treatment, so they meet the set standards.
        
        Fruitfulness: Honestly this made me feel different about our schools. I guess I was oblivious to the fact that schools don't have high expectations for everyone. -Makynna
        
        Low Class
        
        They are treated less equal
        
        "Teacher control of students is a high priority in these schools, as in other schools. What the teachers attempted. these two working-class schools, however, was physical control. There was little attempt to win the hearts and minds of these students" (32-33)
        
        The Teachers in low-class schools only care about teaching the material they need to and nothing else matters. They don't care about connecting on any personal level to get to get to know their students ans understand them. They feel there is no reason to do that if they teach the curriculum and the students pass
        
        Disatisfaction: I know this statement to be true but it really upsets me because i feel every student should have at least one teacher they connect with on different level than just facts being thrown at them -Makynna
        
        Intelligibility: I do understand that teachers do not want to take the time out of their day to try and connect with their students on a different level but what i do not understand is why.I do not know hwy they think just throwing information at them is the way to go. -Makynna
        
        Looked down upon
        
        The lower-class people,schools, and communities are expected to do low class jobs, get a low education, and not be as successful as the upper-class because of their socioeconomic status
        
        Intelligibility: What I don't understand is why people still think like this. I know that this is how it was a long time ago but a lot has changed so why do we still feel the need to segregate students on the learning aspect of things? Just because they don't come form a wealthy family, does not mean they deserve less -Makynna
