I guess over the semesters I have been developing my own beliefs as far as the hidden curriculm that is taught with in
the school system. I just never had a name for it. I could tell you that I think as teachers it is our responsibility to show
children how to grow up to be morally and civicily responsible. We need to model this behavior and also teach students to
become problem solvers, to include how and why our culture exist the way it does and how to go about addressing inadequecy
within that system. The cultural-sociological-political implications of the curriculum taught is of importance.
If I am to ask what is my purpose in a lesson, in essence I am asking are my students going to benefit. Is
this what will help reach that final goal? Keeping the end in mind addresses both the subject matter and ideologies.
