In school, we have rules in order to benefit the community, and the system that we work in. More is achieved through teamwork, but in order to work together there must be some sort of guidelines in place. Without this guidance, things are easily lost in translation and it is hard to get things accomplished. At a young age, we are taught to walk in a line to and from class, listen to instructions and not talk when the teacher is talking. These rules change as we gain experience and independence, but in school there are always certain dos and dontś. Teachers will always expect you to act a certain way while performing schoolwork, because there is considered to be proper classroom etiquette. There are reprimands in place for students who fail to follow these rules, that way people will be scared of the consequences and more likely to cooperate.

There are rules in school in order to keep the students in check. Young people can be destructive and don't always know right from wrong. I believe they should apply to all students as it would feel unfair to some people, causing them to act out. Elementary school and high school have many differences such as were allowed to chew gum, leave off-campus, eat in class, and bring our phones. As in Elementary, they have to walk in straight lines without talking, carry a pass to go to the bathroom, and younger kids aren't allowed to leave without a parent signature. The role of teachers in the behavior of students is to get them to engage in school. To give them a good experience where they actually learned something they will always remember. While students should respect each other, go to school, listen, and learn. Although this doesn't always happen. But everyone's going to realize at some point we need to do these things in order to maintain a job, a steady life. I admi...

I have worked in 3 different classrooms at Ryan and each one has not had the same teaching style. I think that what Dr.Anderson said a lot of things that I now pay attention to and now I'm aware of what they think about when they make choices on how to teach and what to teach. In the kindergarten classroom I don't see much of a achievement gap.

The achievement and opportunity gap is shown in our classrooms every day. Many may not notice but colored individuals feel like a minority in the classroom which makes it harder for them speak up in class and ask questions when theyre afraid of being judged for not knowing the answer. Well at least thats how I feel. This is most shown in advanced classes, such as my LA class, the majority of the class is white and nobody seems to want to talk to me. Because of the achievement gap colored students arent as likely to get into an advanced class, and even if they do theyre still treated as a minority. Making us work harder for our place in the classroom.
