Answers
Answer:
While many contemporary popular cultural discourses in the USA recognise and commodify children as distinct persons engaging in the middle-class project of expressive individuation, much public and early educational policy has simultaneously intensified the control and regulation of children, children’s culture and children’s bodies and emotions in early education settings. Prout suggests that late modern schooling might be characterised by ‘practices directed at greater surveillance, control and regulation of children’ (304). This ethnographic study of a group of three-, four- and five-year-old children in a rural New England community preschool setting explores rural children’s lived experiences resisting control and navigating contradiction through unruly, mischievous games and free play. This unruliness is situated in the context of escalating academic demands in early childhood education and resistant rural community culture(s).

While online classes might have facilitated the learning process amid pandemic, several teachers have expressed concern over lack of decorum that used to prevail in normal classrooms. Many of them said keeping students in check was becoming difficult for them.A teacher from St Joseph’s Convent School shared, “Sometimes, a students's video goes off and we keep calling his name but he does not respond. Students go missing amid ongoing classes. Then, we have to warn them repeatedly that they would be considered absent if they do not respond. At times, we have to complain about such students to their parents on WhatsApp.”
A parent of a Class V student of Apeejay School shared, “Sometimes I sit next to the child to see what the teacher is teaching and often find teachers getting irritated by the repeated disturbance by the children in the class. Instead of concentrating on what the teacher is telling, the students would instead keep asking their teacher to take their attendance. There would be others doodling on white board and still more sending messages as to when the class would be over.Rekha Sharma, a teacher from Police DAV Public School, said, “We have to keep telling the students to keep their videos on. We keep a check to ensure whether students are responding. We are taking their attendance on Google forms, so that it is not challengeable later. We are adopting several techniques to mind the classes at our end.”
