Topic > Hidden Curriculum Essay - 819
America is based on this idea of the "land of the free", but how free are we if children in our society cannot grow up to be who they want to be. Anyon describes how students are classified based on social class, income, parental occupation, and background characteristics. These variables influence how these children receive their education. Being classified according to the current social level and how children have to deal with the fixed school system to become the future workforce is a shocking discovery. We should bring to light this hidden curriculum that benefits a small percentage of the population in order to make a change and give our children the chance to be whoever they are.
