[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who ask "so what if privileged kids are made to realize they are privileged?" what do you say [b]to the underprivileged kids who are made to realize they have far fewer privileges than their peers[/b]? What do you do with that information? [b]What do teachers do to follow through on that so students aren't left feeling less than and disadvantaged? [/b]What good comes from that? How is that good for a student's sense of well being? [/quote]

The short answer: they already know. To your second point, teachers/schools can't do a damn thing about that. Society as a whole would need to address housing discrimination, employment inequities, higher-ed disparities, etc. etc. etc. To solve this particular societal issue, one can't lay it at the feet of teachers/schools and say "fix it". The inequities are a complex issue, one that schools can't solve by themselves, if at all.[/quote]

Oh, I realize they already know. On their own, I don't see how these exercises do anything but make things worse and make kids feel uncomfortable - and I'm not talking about the more privileged kids. These lessons are fraught with pitfalls and unintended consequences. That's why I don't believe they belong in K-12 classrooms. [/quote]
