1Dear Principal Molony, The donated money should be used in the eight grade math and reading classrooms because it will improve the focus and attention of the students. The students' self esteem will go up which will let them participate and do more to benefit the classrooms. They will also be less antsy because they will be focused on work, and not worrying about their uncomfortable seats. Here is what the seats are going to be like: there will be three couches, four to five bean bags, three wiggle seats, one recliner and two big tables the wiggle seats will go on the table chairs.
The impact of this major historical event changed schools all over the world by assisting the desegregation of public schools to take a huge step forward in the South. Although, there have been issues with gentrification, which is the arrival of wealthier individuals migrating into an urban district, causing the rents and property values to increase and changes in the character and culture of the district. These drastic changes can sometimes verse desegregation back to segregation because many of these urban areas are populated with African Americans who are in poverty and the wealthy who are majority Caucasian. This migration will begin to take over forcing the African Americans to move out due to the increase of rent.
In the article, Has America Given Up on the Dream of Racial Integration by Alana Semuels, the author uses testimonies to strengthen her argument that cities today are still segregated. She mainly refers to Beaumont in Texas. One example of using a personal testimony is the author used the quote from Janice Brassard, “This town is caught in the 1950s,” to imply that Beaumont is still stuck in the Civil Rights era. They live with racism and discrimination which proves her claim of “Has America given up on racial integration?” According to John Henneberg, a fair-housing advocate, the government and authority won’t interfere unless there is a big problem.
Board of Education. In her article, Hannah-Jones stated that a mere 1% of African American children attended school with white children in 1963, but by the early 70s, this number jumped to an astounding 90%.2 Throughout the article, Hannah-Jones talks about a multiplicity of cases where desegregation orders have been dismissed or “lost,” however, there remains a glaring lack of actual statistics that show segregation in the public education system. For these reasons, the goals of the Supreme Court’s goals have been accomplished. Obviously, the country still faces extreme racial disparities and continues to strive for equality, but in the early 1950s, no one could have predicted the rapid success of Brown v. Board of Education. While this decision did not directly put any policies in place to integrate schools, it created a pathway for extremely important
Blacks could now learn at a higher level, receive professional teachers, and also have the same amount of protection as the whites students
The expanding immigrant population had a large influence on education. People were coming from all over the world in search of opportunity. Whether this meant jobs or fleeing for equality America was gaining many immigrants. So how did this affect American Education? There are many ways how the schools were changed due to the number of immigrants.
Intimate Colonialism is when the government tried to set up a policy that would encourage Indian Service staff members to intermarry with Native Americans. During the late 19th century, immigration was rising and the big thing in this era was assimilation. Assimilation is integrating people to be accustomed to the United States culture, behavior, value and norms. Though Native Americans have lived in America longer than anyone, the federal government thought that instead of ostracizing them for wanting to value their traditional culture, they created an assimilation policy for Native Americans. “The government’s assimilation policy sought to destroy Native nations’ cultural and political identities by replacing them with Anglo – American norms of behavior (108).”
This lead to black adults being less educated than the majority of white adults. “A white student who completed the eighth grade was almost certainly far ahead of the black child at the same grade level,” (Peter Irons). White students were taught more. The learning
Overall, all students no matter what race should have school
However, having school choice is crucial for students who cannot learn and thrive in the curriculum or the teaching styles of their school systems. School choice has the potential to raise test scores and grades of low performing students in a traditional public school. The acceptance of school choice has helped many cities find a way to get more students to graduate and thrive. Some charter and private school help states with schooling almost half of their population.
Brittney Foster SOCY 423 UMUC 03/01/2018 Racial integration of schools Racial integration is a situation whereby people of all races come together to achieve a common goal and hence making a unified system. Racial integration of schools is well elaborated in the two articles by Pettigrew and Kirp. These two articles say that combination in the American schools since 1954 has unceremoniously ushered out the Brown versus Board of Education which was a decision made by the Supreme Court. The topic of discussion of these two articles hence is relevant to our course since it gives us the light of how racial desegregation and racial integration shaped America’s history.
Education is what runs countries; it is the lifeline to the next generation to make things better. Without education history will repeat itself, we would continue to make the same mistakes we made a thousand years ago or it would holt the process of evolution for our species. Without education we couldn’t move forward. With India being 75,000 they should have one of the best education in the world well that is simply not true. In recent years India has gone from a third world country into a developing country and the education system is changing in a very positive way.
Since the beginning of modernization, education has become a key element in keeping up-to-date with the rapid advancements being made around the globe. Education has become the substructure for a country to prosper from the pit of poverty and improve their standard of living. A lacking educational program commonly leads to poor conditions and stagnant improvements to the country’s well being. This specific lack, or fail, of a strong education structure is prominent in third world countries such as Burma. Due to the poor conditions of third world countries, such as the conspicuous indigence, Burma is not providing the proper funding to maintain steadily successful education programs.
Education in America has evolved throughout the decades, for better and worse. Education in my eyes in helping a child, no matter who they are, improve throughout the years. Once graduating high school, the individual should be prepared for the life they want to live. A life that’s unique to that single individual. A parent shouldn’t worry for a child once they leave high school; however that may not be the case with how education is taught today.
There is a third reason which is the Most important reason, is to get a great picture of the cultural diversity of the United States of America. Knowledge of others, their cultures, their sciences and way of life, is useful for learning about a new culture. Some cultures have good qualities and bad recipes, or perhaps do not fit the nature of our lives. For example, my presence in America has made me learn a lot of American cultures that if I find them in my country and may be useful to me or in raising my children such as opening the door to the person walks behind me, honestly I like this behavior which I miss this in my country. In general, the idea of quoting the culture that suits our societies may help us to develop from the reality of our lives.
