A “good” student

 A “good” student is one who comes to school ready to sit quietly in their desk and listen to the lecture given by the teacher. “Good” student does not act out or try and fight the structure of a normal classroom. Common sense in the classroom is this role of being a “good” student who doesn’t cause extra work for the teacher and school system. The student who fall into the “good” student role are privileged for their ability to fit into this role. The type of student we typical see in this role are students who have a natural ability or want to learn and so well in classes. The “good” students are the one who already don’t need as much attention and help with their school work. This gives the attention of the teacher to students who natural don’t need it. The privilege the “good” student gets is having the teacher invested in furthering the student’s knowledge. The “good” student has been shaped by the way people who are not the norm have been treated. People who are different from the norm have been made to feel bad about factors they cannot change. We see this with the “good” student type, if you are not the perfect student you are made to feel as though you cannot learn.
