Student Service & Tier 2 updates
As a follow up to the professional learning on student engagement and the changing demographic in Green Bay and Red Smith, specifically, we thought you might value the information summarized in this table regarding hidden rules in various social classes. Please consider the following points made by Ruby Payne about what this means for the school setting:
- Assumptions made about individuals' intelligence and approaches to the school setting may relate more to their understanding of hidden rules.
- Students need to be taught the hidden rules of middle class -- not in denigration of their own, but rather as another set of rules that can be used if they so choose.
- Many of the attitudes that students and parents bring with them are an integral part of their culture and belief systems. Middle class solutions should not necessarily be imposed when other, more workable solutions might be found.
- An understanding of the culture and values of poverty will lessen the anger and frustration that educators may periodically feel when dealign with these students and parents.
- Many students that I have talked to in poverty do not believe they are poor, even when they are on welfare. Most of the wealthy adults I have talked with do not believe they are wealthy; they will usually cite someone who has more than they do.
