How does critical pedagogy reveal and confront the role that schooling plays throughout history in the United States?

traditional education

progressive education

ban child labor

whole child approach (social, intellectual, emotional)...not for or available to all children

international recognition

Industrialization

need for labor jobs/factory workers in the U.S (cheap labor)

every day "life" skills

Health and hygiene are subjective by different groups (cultural difference)

differentiated content by gender

educational opportunities for immigrant adults

goal of progressive education for immigrant populations-socialize students and their families amongst American culture
(intention versus reality for immigrant/marginalized families)

immigration

Division of ethnic groups in politics

Gary Plan

public education becomes competitive in nature
(American value of Individualism)

politically motivated to advance certain groups in education while leaving certain groups to work in factories

immigrant populations primarily working in factories

English only curriculum

assimilation

patriotism, and American citizenship

putting assimilation to work (americanize immigrant children)

native American assimilation camps

American Holiday's apart of curriculum (Columbus Day)

beginning of skewed view of world/U.S history

American (white) savior ship

Christianity (The Bible) present in public education

one size fits all

IQ testing

College Bound

white, middle-upper class, affluent students

Career Tracking

Very gendered based on "appropriate" career path

Forms American values of intelligence/ determines who is set up for success

High IQ=more opportunity (power and privilege)

Students “tracked” based on outcome of score (labeled for life)

Belief that ethnicity affects intelligence…

Ability to learn was undermined, potential of students not valued

Testing subjective by nature

Students being labeled as slow learners, mentally retarded (heavily hispanic/latino)

Testing in English only

discouraged hispanic students from college prep classes

Black schooling

division of genders; girls become the "help" (domesticated work) and boys doing labor

Key (color coded by themes)

racial/social inequities or racially/socially motivated

political inequities or politically motivated

economic inequities or economically motivated

connections amongst inequities/motivations

ALL (racial and social, political, and economic inequities and motivations

students with "significant" disabilities institutionalized; unable to participate in public education

teachers are given huge job of differentiating without support/proper pay

no critical thinking for marginalized groups

job of teachers undervalued and underfunded

intersectionality amongst students of color/immigrant/native peoples AND disability
