When we are in school we are all told to be a “good” student, but what does that really mean? We need to listen, be respectful, finish assignments, be nice to others, be quiet and the list goes on. The way a “good” student is defined in commonsense is one who can sit and listen quietly in class, and not interrupt the teacher. Now, there are students who cannot sit still for a long period of time and do disrupt the class. According to Kumashiro, this particular behaviour can start to create problems in the child’s life and make them feel at fault for not portraying what societies expectations of a “good” student is. This is not the child’s fault for being a little different than what society makes us out to be. The children are suppose to change to fit the “good” students expectations, but what if we change the perception of a “good” student, so it is not limiting students abilities. In the past education was very different than is it today. A “good” student back then was someone who was white and rich. Which is sad to think about. The main goal was to also focus on men getting a career and start work.
