In addition to treating students differently based on social class, schools also convey implicit messages about gender, sexual orientation, religion, language, country of origin, and disability. Like the messages about social class, these implicit messages are also forms of the hidden curriculum. Often these messages reinforce the status quo that is discriminatory towards non-dominant groups (females, sexual minorities, immigrants, non-Christians, low-income people, and people with disabilities). In general, the hidden curriculum helps to reinforce and reproduce the social hierarchy that is already present in the adult world. Remember: The hidden curriculum is not the “regular” academic curriculum. It is “taught” both overtly and covertly through behaviors, words, and the school structure.

The example provided by Johnson and Rhodes focuses on how schools provide differential learning environments that prepare students to remain in the social class into which they were born. Jeff Sapp (article in this module) illustrated the hidden curriculum by describing the ways his school “taught me I was poor.”

Discussion Assignment: Reflect on your K-12 education and identify the hidden curriculum in your school related to one of the following variables: gender, race or ethnicity, language, country of origin, religion, social class, or disability. In your response, be specific about what messages you received about the variable you chose and how those messages were conveyed.

QUESTION 1

Instructions: Please read the passage below, then answer the questions that follow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

David and Kathy are about to go on a date. David really wants to make a good first impression, so the night of their date he makes sure to wear his best outfit and sprays himself with cologne. David knows that if Kathy has fun on their date she will most likely let him take her out again, so throughout the entire night he makes sure she is having as much fun as possible. David had made dinner reservations at a nice Italian restaurant. When he first saw Kathy arrive at the restaurant, he instantly got nervous and his heart began to beat faster. David was really hungry but didn’t want to look like a pig, so he decided he would just have a salad. Because he hadn’t eaten anything that day David’s hunger got even worse, and even after eating his salad David’s stomach started growling. Kathy told him he should order something else to eat, and suggested they share an ice cream. When the dessert arrived at their table, both David and Kathy reached for a spoon. Their hands accidentally touched, and they both started blushing. David wasn’t sure how the night was going to go, but he hoped that he would get to see Kathy again.
