Question 2

The hidden curriculum refers to the ways in which the school environment indirectly teaches norms,beliefs,and values.Briefly describe at least two specific ways (formal,informal,or both)in which school environments regulate teens and pressure them into conforming to so-called normal behavior that upholds broader structural privileges related to gender,race,and/or and sexuality.

Accepted Answer

School environments communicate expectations for "appropriate" behavior,which seem to be understood in terms of gendered expectations for White heterosexuality.When school dress codes restrict girls' clothing in order to prevent boys from being distracted,the schools teach all students that girls should protect themselves from harassment rather than teaching boys not to harass.These same codes also presume and thus reinforce heterosexuality.Having a prom king and queen and pairing football players with cheerleaders is another example of a common practice in high schools that promote heterosexuality.Another source of hidden curriculum is the disproportionate responses to students of color,and in particular,to girls of color who are more likely than their White counterparts to be sent to the principal,sanctioned as "defiant," and suspended (answers also may vary based on personal experiences and/or reflections).
