The Four I's of Oppression Blog #3

-

The four "I"s of oppression are ideological, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized. The four "I"s of oppression work together to establish and uphold oppressive systems rather than existing as distinct elements. All four layers of oppression must be addressed in order to stop opression from happening in our society. Some examples of systems of oppression include racism, sexism, ableism, classism, ageism, and anti-Semitism.

In the video and reading by Lisa Delpit she argues that teachers must recognize and understand cultural differences to give all students better opportunities to succeed in school. She explains how educators can shift from seeing all children as the same to perceptively seeing and understanding cultural and ethnic differences. It is important to keep that diversity in your classroom and make all students feel welcomed. If you have prrejudice and stereotypes in a classroom it can her the students education.  ________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the kids video "The Tiger Goes Wild", it shows an entertaining and captivating children's book to age-appropriately communicate difficult social justice themes.

Blog #9 Eliminating Ablism in Education

 ​ "Eliminating Ableism in Education" is an article by Thomas Hehir,  Hehir defines ableism as "the devaluation of disability" leading to societal attitudes that uncritically prefer, for example, walking over rolling, speaking over signing, reading print over Braille, spelling independently over using a spell-check, and socializing with nondisabled peers over disabled peers.  Hehir talks about how ableist practices have historically affected the education of deaf students, students who are blind or visually impaired, and students with learning disabilities, particularly dyslexia.   He argues that these ableist assumptions not only reinforce existing prejudices but may also contribute to lower educational attainment and employment levels among disabled individuals.  ​Thomas Hehir’s  “ Eliminating Ableism in Education ”  also argues education systems often unconsciously devalue students with disabilities by enforcing norms that prioritize typical ways of...

 In the Preface and introduction of Kyla Shalaby’s  Troublemakers, the author talks about different lessons in Freedom from Young Children at School  explores how schools often misunderstand and marginalize students labeled as "troublemakers." In the  Preface  and  Introduction , Shalaby sets the stage by questioning traditional discipline methods and arguing that children who challenge authority are not inherently problematic but rather reflect deeper issues within the education system. Shalaby introduces her motivation for writing the book which is her deep concern for children who are repeatedly labeled as "problems" in school. She reflects on her experiences as a teacher and how she saw certain students struggle against rigid classroom expectations. She emphasizes that this book is not just about those children but about what their experiences reveal about the education system itself. I don't think that the kids themselves are the problem. I think the w...
