The dysfunctional nature of how urban schools teach students to relate to authority begins in kindergarten and continues through the primary grades.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 with outside of school) and the directive, behavior modification methods practiced in primary grades lose their power to control.Indeed, school authority becomes counterproductive.From 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.»

Urban schools reinforce the student perception that teachers bear final responsibility for what they learn.By allowing passive witnesses, the schools support these student perceptions that all relationships are (indeed rewarding) students for being essentially authoritarian rather than mutual.As youth see the world, they are compelled to go to school while teachers are paid to be there.Therefore, it is the job of the teacher to make them learn.Every school policy and instructional decision which is made without involving students — and this is almost all of them — spreads the virus that principals and teachers rather than students must be the constituency held accountable for learning.In a very real sense students are being logical.In an authoritarian, top - down system with no voice for those at the bottom, why should those «being done to» be held accountable?

In urban schools students come and go all day.No 45 minutes is like the time that preceded it or the time that will follow.Urban schools report 125 classroom interruptions per week.Announcements, students going, students coming, messengers, safety aides, and intrusions by other school staff account for just some of these interruptions.It is not unusual for students to stay on task only 5 or 10 minutes in every hour.Textbook companies and curriculum reformers are constantly thwarted by this reality.They sell their materials to schools with the assurance that all the students will learn X amount in Y time.They are continually dismayed to observe that an hour of school time is not an hour of learning time.Many insightful observers of life in urban schools have pointed out that it is incredibly naive to believe that learning of subject matter is the main activity occurring in these schools.If one observes the activities and events which actually transpire — minute by minute, hour by hour, day in and day out — it is not possible to reasonably conclude that learning is the primary activity of youth attending urban schools.What does the process of changing what one does every 45 minutes and even the place where one does it portend for fulfilling a job in the world of work?If one is constantly being reinforced in the behaviors of coming, going, and being interrupted, what kind of work is one being prepared for?
