Infatilization

infatilization is when adults or teens digress and act like little children because of the way they are talked to or treated. you can see this happening every where especially at Stevenson. Stevenson tells us that they are prepairing us for the real world and getting us ready for college but they baby us and force some students to act like little children. one way they do this is by always having us watched or supervised at all times. for example they do not allow students to sit outside because they feel that students have to be monitored and watched every second. i feel like this makes the students act childish because they are babied. another thing that goes on that can make students act a little bit child like is teachers seem to always have to be nice they extend assignments and just tell there students that is ok and they take late work. this just reinforces the beliefe that we are little children adults should have to deal with the consicuenses that fallow there choices wether it is good or bad. on the other hand i feel that putting stickers or smilie faces on tests when students do well is wrong. students shuold be expected to study and do well it shouldnt be a giant party though. in the real world there wont be a pat on the back when you do things that are expected of you. I feel that these examples and more make the students act very childish and even shelter us to the point that some of us are not prepared for the "real world". what do you think do these things help or hurt us? and what exampls have you seen from ether school or in our larger society?
