I agree that being able to have the choice to choose different academic levels of classes, such as advanced placement vs. honors vs. college prepatory, is definitely a privilege to have. I was shocked when reading about a typical day for high school senior in an underperforming school district, especially the fact that most of the teachers hired to instruct him as well as other students were not even qualified to do so or did not take their job seriously since they failed to be present in the classroom or construct a lesson plan. Many people are afraid of teaching in these school districts because of their so called "problems," but after being educated about them from our class readings and discussions and learning what its really like to work in these schools through service learning, I believe that they are the places that would benefit from young, committed qualified teachers, which is what I aspire to do in the future.

That quote is so real and that why integration students is such an important thing. They can grow off each other instead of staying in the same place. Good job by the way!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733742069003639141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7698650072243281365.post-34407893009243562692016-03-21T17:30:16.897-07:002016-03-21T17:30:16.897-07:00Great job at connecting the texts and activities w...Great job at connecting the texts and activities we worked on in class. The different level of classes also stood out to me when listening. Especially when the students are talking about the AP classes giving them work that was about a middle school level. Giving underprivileged children under qualified teachers isn't going to help solve any problems. Kate Gould https://www.blogger.com/profile/01805429113316912946noreply@blogger.com
