Stereotyping School Kids Analysis
I'm Tanjeen Twinkle, a Senior at Upper Darby High School and I recently read your article about Stereotyping school kids. I must say, your article was very interesting and it discussed an important issue that has been going on in school. I feel people should know about what occurred that day because it's really unacceptable that the school Kensington Urban Teaching Academy didn't call the parents immediately. It was really wrong and truly unfair to the parents. Also, I agree that it's the administrator job to address safety hazards, but they should've protected the students instead of making them feel guilty for one officer mistake. It was every wrong and should never happen again. Throughout, this article I agreed with everything you have

    In my opinion it reflects the majority being as it’s the school’s tabloid. I also believe the school has the right to remove pages if they deem the material inappropriate. These articles would not have been in the best interest for the students. The students feel it is freedom of speech, but the administration feels it is unfitting for a school newspaper.…

Both his mother and one of his teachers reported this with no luck. For example, Principal Mary Podlesny said “Boys will be boys,” and did not do anything.

(Explain how Main Point and Example(s) Support Thesis Statement) The acts of the principal not responding or even caring for their students was immoral.

    Stereotyping can change a person’s character uncontrollably. “We were Indian children expected to be stupid. Most lived up to those expectations inside the classroom but subverted them on the outside.” Sherman Alexie is saying that the people he grew up around are what created the stereotype. They didn’t try in the classroom. There was a constant battle between Indians and non-Indians to prove what they were made of, but Indians gave up. They decided to let the rumors about them become true. As they continued on, they believed the rumors were true as well. They believed that the classroom was a vulnerable place where they could never excel. All, within a blink of an eye. Without the kids really being able to stop what was really happening, the stereotype sucked them in and never let…

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes. At times my mindset isn't where most kids are at my age. I skipped pre k and I am supposed to be in the 8th grade. When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

    I have experienced many stereotypes throughout my life. In high school we had a project that involved asking people what they thought of us when they first met the person who was conducting the question. When I had asked my peers I got the most shocking responses. I was stereotype as the dumb girl who looked conceited and wasn’t going to get anywhere in my life. Even though that was high school, today I still get the stereotyped as a dumb and mean girl.…

    Brent Staples in “Just Walk on by: Black Men and Public Space,” discusses stereotypes associated with Black Men and how those stereotypes put them in danger of being harmed. It is human nature to judge someone on their appearance. However, as humans we also tend to judge a whole race of people for the actions of only a few of them. Men of color are more at risk of suffering injustices because of stereotypes and there are examples of that happening everyday.…

    Stereotypes. Stereotypes play a major and huge role today in society negatively and positively. Stereotypes can form truthful and untruthful results that can mentally, emotionally and physically destroy a person, race or culture which we see today. Stereotype is a fixed over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people (Meclod). I chose to write on the topic stereotype because in society today we as humans stereotype one another all the time and do not realize it.

    Racial stereotypes and the effects on education remain a compelling concern. While similar pressures can be drawn between clique and racial stereotypes, racial stereotypes possess a variety of pressures and effects on education. People within a racial stereotype find themselves a part of that stereotype with no personal choice, whereas people determine if they want to include themselves in a clique. Subsequently, students within a racial stereotype feel that negative image of that stereotype can’t be reversed under a circumstance. People imply a good or bad reputation based merely on a few members of the race. Individual attributes become overlooked; a specific skill set defines a race. Based upon this specific skill set, member of a racial…

    As the United States becomes more diverse, colleges are seeing increases in minority students. However, this increase does not mean that the same number of students are leaving their college with a degree. Minorities face many challenges in college, some of which have persisted since elementary school. Although colleges try to diminish these difficulties by having different organizations where students can go to seek help, the students have already formed the mindset that they do not do as well as their white counterparts from micro-aggressions, learned thoughts and behaviors, and comparisons of resources.…

    Society can be broken up into many groups by gender, race, or even traits. The world is made up of males and females, whites and blacks, and liberals and conservatives, all with a particular way of life. People are stereotyping others all the time without even noticing it, because of race or color. This trend in human thought is called stereotyping. A stereotype can be anything from women being considered better drivers or labeling French people as rude, but one thing that is in every stereotype is the designation of a group as a whole. Stereotypes are judgments based upon a person’s appearance or action; it can also be an over exaggerated view on a person. A stereotype can be also interpreted as a shortcut…

    When you walk into the toy section of any store, you do not need a sign to indicate which section is the girls' side and which section is the boys' side. Aside from all the pink, purple, and other pastel colors that fill the shelves on the girls' side, the glitter sticks out a lot as well. The boys' toys however are mostly dark colors – blue, black, red, gray, or dark green. The colors typically used on either side are very stereotypical in themselves.…

    We all seem to think of the same things when we picture "high school". Cheerleaders, proms, report cards, football games. We all remember the A honor roll students, and how much time they spent studying. The thing that I have always questioned is, do children that come from lower status families do worse in school than ones from higher status families?…

    In the world we live in today, there is a numerous amount of different types of stereotypes about people because of their skin color, heritage, and culture; the stereotype I have experienced constantly for the past sixteen years of my life has been that of attending a private Catholic School. I personally loved the atmosphere and the experience I had at my small school, and I would definitely do it all over again if I had the opportunity. However, I understand that each school is unique in all cases, whether it be its’ size, the kids, the teachers, the town it’s located in, and so on. As a student of the school, I have always been looked upon as either rich, spoiled, or in many cases, both. Although some of the things said about kids at private schools may be true, it is definitely not true for every student. Many of the kids that…
