The two aspects of the social production of class that are identified in this brief description are hidden curriculum and streaming. The hidden curriculum refers to the non-academic lessons taught in school, such as punctuality, obedience, and respect for authority figures. Patrick's behavior suggests that he may not have internalized these values, which could be a result of his working-class background. Streaming refers to the practice of grouping students into different academic programs based on their perceived abilities. The guidance counselor's suggestion that Patrick consider "the trades" as a career option suggests that he may be perceived as lacking academic potential and could be steered towards vocational training or manual labor rather than pursuing higher education.
