Reflection: Christensen

This is one of my favorite articles that we have been given to read. The author Christensen is doing some really important work by informing people because ignorance is not bliss. Growing up with a sister only thirteen months apart from me and having two brothers five years younger than me I got to see an array of children intended content. My sister and I would fight about who got to be certain characters because they were pretty, and got the guy, but why did that matter to me I was 8? The Princess and the Pauper Barbie movie was by far our favorite movie, it was about two lost sisters who sang, had people try to murder them and each married a man at eighteen. There is no sense of reality there whatsoever. My parents raised my sister and me as independent women who would get our education first and never settle, yet growing up that movie was something we loved. I am nineteen now and in no way have the thought of marriage. These princess movies have shoved in young girls faces looks ...

Michael Brown's graduation picture. Elizabeth Eckford being heckled at by a crowd of white people at 15 for being the first person of color to attend Little Rock Central High School.  Integration in schools is something that many educational facilities are lacking, this is the reality of our world. We are still desegregating white and black schools, and it is due to discrimination in communities. Nikole Hannah Jones followed the story of those attending at the Normandy school district in which was unaccredited for nearly fifteen years because it had such inadequate teaching, supplies and general education.

Many white parents were discriminating against the students and parents wanting to attend just based on their color, and stating that there would be more violence, lower test scores, and drug ...

Journal #1 : Day One (Kozol)

I was placed at an Elementary School in Providence Rhode Island through Inspiring Minds. I felt fairly confident in my performance because I make lesson plans all summer for the swim courses that I offer for kids from ages six months to adulthood. Upon going I tried to make sure I knew my way around but my GPS automatically entered in Broadway street instead of Broad street, so my partner and I were a few minutes late. Walking into the building we were a little lost but then pressed the buzzer and entered the main office straight ahead.  The office was small and there was a sink with a bathroom mirror on it makes me believe that the room wasn’t supposed to be used as an office. I know that the school was made with a lot of love through the help of the Alan Shawn Feinstein association which does amazing work to benefit education. I asked the lady at the front desk where Mrs.Corrado’s room was and she gave us directions and said it was in room 105. We walked up the stairs and open...
