ch.4 ex.1

Jean Anyon's view on whether or not there are differences in teaching styles and activities between various social classes is somewhat difficult to grasp at first. She goes into details about her peer's ideas and positions first and then builds on them to give her personal view on the subject. Other notable researchers seem to believe that the "advantaged classes" are given work that allows them to branch out and hone there leadership and assertive aptitudes while the "working class" children are pushed in the direction of more basic concepts that will ultimately allow them to fully embrace there fairly practical skills that are more commonly used in the service sector of work. Basically they're saying that rich kids get a more intellectually inspiring education that's going to help them rule the world, and all the rest are trained to do the necessary but less difficult jobs in the world.
Anyon agrees with the other researchers but does fill in her reader that there has not been a lot of in depth analysis in the United States. So, I believe that Anyon both agrees and disagrees with the views of the previously stated researchers.
