Curriculum that conflicts with student values can silence and disconnect those students

Evidence

When students’ experiences differ from our own, it may be difficult to understand the impact of those experiences, for example, on classroom behaviors or inability to relate to and engage with the curriculum. When the values and lived experiences of students conflict with curriculum being taught in the class, those students may be silenced (Darder, 2015). And ultimately, they are not learning ways to translate the material they are learning in the classroom to their lives and communities. This is where the structural formation of classrooms produces different kinds of responsibilities for different participants. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 740
