                                                      What Is Worth Learning?     Throughout this module, we learned about three types of curriculums. Explicit, Null and Hidden Curriculum. Explicit curriculum is the general and basic core subjects that are necessary at every age level and basic classroom rules and expectations. Null curriculum is current events and important events going on in society that need to be introduced to students to be aware of the world and the events going on. Hidden curriculum is the concept of civic concepts, for  example: cultures, gender and class. Now, what is worth learning? All of these curriculums are worth learning. Everyone needs the explicit, then get introduced to real world concepts through the null and through both of those, hidden c...

Throughout the module many researchers and authors spoke their truth and gave statistics on Black students in cl...

Students are treated differently if they come from a low-income family by their peers and often teachers as well. Schools that are located in low income areas also get viewed differently when all students should be learning the same in every school. Students should be able to go to school and enjoy their learning experience and not have to worry about how they might be treated by their peers and teachers that day just because of how much money they have. These issues are out of the students hands and should not be judged for it. Money within a school system and even the income of the students household has a lot to do with the value of their education when it really should not even be a factor. Schools in a high income area potentially get funds from families within the school...
