Question 2
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates the long-lasting effects of the hidden curriculum in schools?
a. Joey's elementary music teacher taught him a song that names each U.S. state in alphabetical order. Now that he's an adult, Joey can still rattle off the name of each state, as long as he sings the tune.
b. Kelly and her twin brother Brent had very different experiences in school. While Brent's teachers encouraged him to focus on math and science, Kelly was directed toward home economics. Brent received more support from his coaches than did his sister. Kelly's interest in and talent for math and sports surpassed Brent's, but she never pursued those areas and abandoned them altogether when she got to college. She had learned her place as a female.
c. An elementary school teacher was caught stealing from the PTA fund. Her students were shocked and confused. Ms. Kenrick had always demanded honesty and integrity from her students. As they entered high school, Ms. Kenrick's former students continued to have trouble trusting their teachers.
d. A high school principal, on retirement, wanted to leave a legacy. As a former band member, he had a great love for music and knew well the benefits that strong music and art programs bring to schools. He anonymously donated 10,000 to the music department, which had a long-term positive impact on the quality of the school's music program.
