Chapter 3: Hidden Rules Among Classes
In this chapter, Payne details the "hidden rules" of a group. According to our reading, students in poverty view people as possessions, money as something to be used or spent, language as survival and education as valued, but in an abstract way.
Why is it important that we as BES staff members understand the "hidden rules" of poverty?
How can we communicate the hidden rules of Birdville Elementary to all of our students? What are some success stories you have had in doing this?
