Dear Megan,
For
my inquiry project I’ve decided that I wanted to focus on education in the
different social classes with more of a focus on minorities. When I read the
articles Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work, Women Without Class,
and On the Uses of Liberal Education for my exploratory essay it really got me
thinking about my time in school. I can say from my experience that I went to a
working class public school all my life. But for me I always knew that I was
going to college throughout middle and high school. So, the classes I took
during this time were for that path. Also when I could choose my own classes I
choose classes that would take me down this path as well. So for my inquiry
project I want to focus on how many students in the different social classes actually
end up in the same social class as there parents and who doesn’t end up in the
same social class as there parents rather it be going up or down. When they
have the choice to choose what they are taught, are they more susceptible to
choosing to stay within their learning criteria. This subject just really
interested me because I grew up with and I’m myself am hoping to make more
money then my parents, and this could possibly be a motivator for the me and
the people the I grew up with.
