• W2783003638 abstract "is getting worse, it's getting higher. 90 degrees, 100 degrees ... everyone count, lets see how high the thermometer will go. The thermometer was me. The was to have every kid in my fifth grade class turn their chairs to stare at me in an attempt to make my face as red as possible. The mastermind behind the game was my fifth grade teacher, Mr. Grady. Every week we played. At first, my face, which can turn an unusually hot sweaty, bright red, cooperated. It didn't long for the teacher and students to get the desired effect. However, towards the middle of the year, I became accustomed to the stares and counting and my face only turned a light shade of red. The kids then began to play the game in earnest. They realized that calling out taunts of tomato or the name of the boy I liked would make me embarrassed and uncomfortable and my face would react accordingly. Mr. Grady never stopped the jeering and teasing. Phenomenologists draw our attention to the taken-for-granted world and problematize it. An adult would realize that Mr. Grady's sanctioned teasing was out of the norm, that he used his authority as a teacher in the worst possible way, to victimize and discriminate. An adult would interpret the situation and call for intervention. However, as a child, I did not know that this was wrong. I thought there was just something wrong with me. The definition of the situation was that my strange face that so easily turned red meant I should be stared at and mocked. In his essay, Children: The Unheard Society, Aaron Witkowski notices that, do not always know what is right. So, they do not question actions that adults take (Witkowski 112). I took Mr. Grady's bullying for granted, internalized it, and did not problematize it. Until now. The starting point to problematizing my situation should begin with my lack of complaint, my acceptance of Mr. Grady's treatment. In her feminist standpoint theory, Dorothy Smith gives a voice to women's everyday experiences and how they think and feel about those experiences. Although she discusses the experience of women in a patriarchal society, her standpoint theory as a method of inquiry has value for other subordinated individuals, even children. Children are rarely given a voice. Even the adage best seen but not heard underscores just how society views the opinions of children. Children are talked to and talked about by adults. They are managed, instructed, taught, and in my case, bullied. Children are rarely heard. As a parent, I can testify that there are too many times when I should have listened to my son and did not. Worse, when I did listen, I sided with authority: You need to listen to the teacher. Don't speak out in class. It is no wonder you missed recess. This repeated discounting of a child's experience and opinion has the enormous and unfortunate consequence of effectively silencing them. In fifth grade, like most children, I had internalized the understanding that a child's voice, which might have complained and objected to Mr. Grady's treatment, had no power. I'm sure Mr. Grady recognized that also. Mr. Grady also had us turn and stare at a girl who worked extremely slowly. She sat in the right back corner of the room--an attempt, I believe now, to minimize the exposure of her slowness to Mr. Grady. When he noticed that the class had finished the assignment and that she was still working, we were instructed to turn our chairs to face her and to count loudly as she struggled to finish, hands shaking. Erving Goffman points out that Power.is often a means of communication, not merely a means of action (Goffman 360). Mr. Grady communicated to us that difference, in a red-face or painstaking slowness, is abhorrent and shameful. Before fifth grade, I was a well-liked, outgoing girl. After fifth grade, I took on a new identity and self. Symbolic interactionism is concerned with gestures and the meaning we place on those gestures. …" @default.
