Authors Argument
Orenstein argues that there is a hidden curriculum in a co-ed class. Classes are usually male dominated, needs to show more diversity in the classroom. Girls are looked at by boys in a different way.
Evidence
- Scores of educators around the country are working to develop gender-fair curricula in all subjects and reexamining traditional assumptions about how children best learn.
- Women are one-half of the world's peoples; they do two-thirds of the world's work; they earn one-tenth of the world's income; they own one-hundredth of the world's property.
- "It's like how boys learn how to see girls" I mean you turn on MTV Spring Break and there's these stupid girls with tiny bathing suits dancing around. It makes me feel degraded.
Comments
I liked this reading, because it touched on an important subject in classrooms. I do think that girls and women are overlooked in all aspect's. I liked the comment about MTV spring Break, which is true now a days women are eye candy for men in videos made. I think it is degrading to all women.
