Question

Identify the examples of the hidden curricula.

   

Cheerleaders wear super short skirts, that would violate the school dress code if they weren't cheerleader uniforms, in school once a week.  These girls, chosen mainly for being pretty, enjoy much higher prestige among the students, teachers, and parents, than the girls in advanced placement calculus, or the girls on the cross country track team.

   

In junior high, we learn about the importance of the English, Dutch, and the Puritan colonists to American history, but not the Iroquois, the Cherokee, the Pequod, or the Sauk people.

   

In working class public high schools, punctuality and obedience to decorum rules are enforced more stringently than spelling and grammar use.

   

We learn more about the ancient Romans and Greeks than the ancient Chinese, Indus, Harappan, or Aztec civilizations.

   

Most of the teachers in grade school are women.  The few male teachers are found in high school, especially in math and the sciences.  The highest paid adults children will meet in school are most likely to be the principal and the janitor, also the most likely positions to be held by males.

   

Most school teachers aren't very good or very knowledgeable about math, science, or history.
