Students' Self-esteem

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses a personal belief of the author that a student's socio-economic statues affects how they behave, internalize and learn in an educational framework. It claims that children are affected by their environment and teachers need to take these factors into consideration when teaching.

From the paper:

"When a teacher is considering how she or he will relate to her students, that teacher must reflect upon how the educational opportunities he or she experienced were when he or she was a child and a student. One of the topics that were of great concern to me when I was growing up was my socio-economic status. Although I did not think of it in those terms at the time, of course, in retrospect I realize how deeply it affected me in a way that influenced my perceptions of myself as a good student. I hope to be more conscious of it than my own teachers were. Thus, the topic I have chosen for my own paper will be how a student?s socio-economic status affects how they learn and how they are taught. It is my thesis that socio-economic status has a direct impact on learning, and thus educators must take this into consideration when tailoring the standardized curriculum needs for their students."
