Cumulative Mind Map:
How does critical pedagogy reveal and confront the role that schooling plays in the United States?
-
Critical pedagogy reveals remnants of segregation that still exist today by still utilizing the same educational model introduced in the Industrial Revolution
Born in the early 1900s, this model factored nothing of child wellness or anything we believe to be true and valuable today for children like valuing their individuality and feelings, teaching them to be kind and compassionate community members, etc. This model streamlined them into the workforce without a second glance.
If back then we had the excuse that we didn't know any better, we didn't have any knowledge of child psychology or even really germ theory, what is the excuse today to still run public school systems in this way?
Streamlined the success of white, middle class males by promoting and teaching from the Bible, deeply segregating and/or not allowing for students who were not white, neurodiverse, or English speakers to go to school
Beginning with an immigration peak through 1930, there was an influx of children who would either work in factories or on farms, or attend school in poor conditions
School conditions were so poor especially for immigrant children that 80% of children would rather work in a factory
Lack of preventative healthcare leads to high rates of childhood illness at school, especially for immigrants
Critical pedagogy reveals a long, tedious sacrifice of culture and individuality in order to attend public school
Pre-reform:
-students expected to come up to the boards and “toe the line” to recite information to the teacher while standing in a particular stance (my thought: imagine being a student with special needs being forced to stand in a particular way and make eye contact, a student with ADHD trying to regurgitate information, a student of a different culture who had a strong accent or couldn’t speak English?)
Treatment of BIPOC in schools post WW2 reveals: hard evidence of racism and blatant mistreatment in three different ethnicity groups. It reveals the way Americans really pursued "the American Dream" by stripping away the cultures and identity and languages of people who are different than the desired WASP, as well as simultaneously telling them that even once they are "assimilated" and have given up their culture, they still will not be as successful as white children
Treatment of BIPOC in schools post WW2 confronts: 1. the concept of the American Dream. How can this simultaneously be the "land of the free" when we force children to strip themselves of their identity out of fear they will "corrupt" it, as well as set up these children to do all of this work in school (and beyond--because culturally, they are expected to work so hard to be accepted) to be told from childhood they do not have the same opportunities? 2. It confronts the idea that one size fits all education is not equitable. It is unfair to teach students "how to be white/American" and also expect their curriculum to be as rigid. 3. Confronts that education today still is inherently racist in the set up of multicultural education.
