Reflection Of Education - 1146 Words

One aspect that I can personally relate to would be latent functions because it was something that helped me discover more about myself. I was able to find comfort in extracurricular activities and interacted with numerous fellow students.

We cannot assume because of the lack of their determination that they had no desire to learn. We do not know what the students are going through in their lives and maybe some had to skip school a lot to help out their parents. The students themselves would probably love to learn, but because they missed class or their scores were not up to standards, they had to be placed in â€Å"regular† classes. Being placed in a â€Å"regular† class was kind of an indirect label that, to me, was indirectly hurting them. The students were probably dealing with a lot at home and as much as they would love to learn and at tend classes, sometimes they just could not. I wish schools looked more into the backgrounds and tend more to how the student really feel about education before placing them in specific classes. There are students who love to learn, but are faced with numerous obstacles and hardships preventing them from it and when being placed in what a lot of the students considered as â€Å"not smart† classes really would push their self-esteem lower causing them to have even less determination to earn an education. My education definitely influenced my perceptions that being placed in AP and honor classes or going to a UC and not a Cal state does not make you any better than others who are in regular classes or went to a Cal State.
