It is an academic study on pedagogy (the method and practice of teaching).<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The key argument (the thesis), as in most research papers, is found in first and last pages of the essay.<\/b><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>Pay attention to the claims that the writer is making and don\u2019t worry about all the details of support.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">You need to read the entire article to understand her claims but you don\u2019t need to understand everything she writes in support of her claims.

What differences in teaching methods and in student-teacher relationships do they reflect? What other differences do you see in the schools? What schools in your neighborhood or city would closely approximate the working-class, middle-class, affluent (wealthy) profession, and executive elite (1% super-rich) schools in her article?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">What attitudes toward knowledge and work are the four types of school teaching their students? What kinds of jobs are students being prepared to do? Do you see any evidence that schools in your community are producing particular types of \u201cworkers\u201d?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">What is the \u201chidden curriculum\u201d suggested by Anyon\u2019s title? How is this curriculum taught, and what social, cultural, or political purposes does it serve?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Finally, consider how Henderson&#8217;s critically and autobiographically grounded preface to his memoir might be in conversation with Anyon&#8217;s claims.
