Context of Field ExperienceClouds hover above as the sun reaches its peak to spread heat over people. I go to Coogee Beach and head to the area with grass, barbecues and benches. While some people are in bathing suits and just sitting around sunbathing, there are other people fully dressed and just standing around talking and drinking a few beers. It's now around 3am and groups of children in various uniforms start heading towards where I am. Girls mostly wear plaid skirts and dresses of various colors such as blue, white and green, while boys wear dark-colored shorts and trousers with polo shirts sporting school emblems. Groups of older people tend to stand and sit further away from each other than children. While I can still hear adults talking, groups of children seem to be screaming as if they can't hear each other despite sitting and standing within 2 feet of each other. Group Description and Explanation Although there are several groups of people clustered around the grassy area of ​​the beach, one group in particular catches my attention and my ears. There is a group of 4 children sitting in a circle perched against a tree. There are 3 boys and 1 girl and they appear to be of Caucasian origin. They appear to be around 12-13 years old. The thing about this particular group that caught my attention was the first time I heard one of the guys say it. She yelled, “Stop being such a bitch.” You can say I was a little more than surprised by this language. Since this wasn't something common when I was their age, I thought I'd focus a little more attention on what exactly that... middle of paper... group of friends they can identify with and therefore express their feelings is. own raw thoughts without feeling judged. In reference to education, this experience shows that education is not just homework and math problems, but is also about students and the relationships they build at school. If they form healthy relationships with their peers and/or teachers, they will be much more likely to excel in school, but the opposite will happen if they fall into the wrong bracket.
