With young children, authoritarian, directive teaching that relies on simplistic external rewards still works to control students.But as children mature and grow in size they become more aware that the school's coercive measures are not really hurtful (as compared to what they deal

upper elementary grades upward students know very well that it is beyond the power of school authorities to inflict any real hurt.External controls do not teach students to want to learn; they teach the reverse.The net effect of this situation is that urban schools teach poverty students that relating to authority is a kind of game.And the deepest, most pervasive learnings that result from this game are that school authority is toothless and out of touch
with their lives.What school authority represents to urban youth is «what they think they need to do to keep their school running.»
