How can we expect to change the way we think about the intelligence of other if we look down on them because of their occupation. Like Joe, many people process the skills needed to complete a job, but not the education. Skills are not the only characteristic that protrudes. "The values of determination, perseverance, courage, and guts are evident"(Lucas 2004). These values display how blue-collar workers are often looking out for one another.
I have been doing some thinking about our conversation a few days ago and have concluded that I will take you up on the offer! I just sold my old bike and now have some money left over that I can use to pay for those seminars. I am going to see how soon I can get this done, I am going to look at the dates and send my form in. I will keep you posted on the status of things as they get processed.
The first Co-Curricular event I attended was the Harried Tubman Portrayal on Wednesday, October 26th from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the Julia Ball Auditorium. Dr. Daisy Century acted out the life of Harriet Tubman. Gwynedd Mercy University has a theme of #MakeMercyReal which correlates with this event. Dr. Century started out as a science teacher before she took on her acting career. She retired early and began acting as many historic figures but this day, she was Harriet Tubman.
“Crack”, “click” was what I heard before the most excruciating pain I have ever felt filled my right knee. It was on October 7th, it was just weeks before my junior season was going to start. I was at Massillon Washington high school at wrestling practice like I was almost every day. I was drilling with the assistant coach Percy McGee hitting single legs which was my favorite move. About 40 seconds into the drill I hit another single and all of a sudden my knee locked at about 90 degrees.

Many Hispanic students begin schooling without the proper resources that many other students receive, and schools are often not equipped to compensate for these initial problems. For Hispanics, initial disadvantages often come from parents ' immigrant status and their lack of knowledge about the U.S. education system. As Hispanic students go through the schooling system, the lack school resources and their weak relationships with their teachers continue to undermine their academic success. Initial disadvantages continue to add up, resulting in Hispanics having the lowest rates of high school and college degree achievement, which hinders their chances for stable employment. The situation of Hispanic educational attainment is cause for national concern.
My body cried like a newborn babe, afraid in an unfamiliar place. Immediately, my fresh eyes were greeted by waves of black hair, friendly smiles, and the Japanese language. I had arrived in Japan. I did not know the language or the customs, but I dove right into the dark pool. I was determined not to let the unknown drown me.
There were two main things that I took away from the article How Complex Instruction Led to High and Equitable Achievement: The Case of Railside School and the video from Jo Boaler. The first takeaway for me from the article and video is that “all children were ‘smart’ and had strengths in different areas and that everyone had something important to offer” (Boaler, n.d, p. 5). This was reiterated from an educational standpoint because “no-one is good at all of these ways of working, but everyone is good at some of them” (Boaler, n.d, p. 8). I feel all students can offer something in the classroom they just need to find their niche. By boosting children’s confidence levels in something that they are successful at in the classroom, makes

Everyone has traveled a different road to get to where they are today. Some roads may have felt longer and more rough, but they were worth the ride. My road to literacy started out on what I would call a dirt road that had a steep incline. What I could not see at that time was that once I got to the top, I had a smooth ride ahead of me. If I would look back at how far I have travelled I would say it was worth it all the struggles along the way, but what is important is the sponsors I had that pushed me along the way.

My educational goals are to achieve my Associates of Arts degree.

This is the reason early interventions have a major aim of compensating for the poor and hostile learning conditions that are faced by the children in families that do not offer adequate opportunities to attain informal learning (Suggate, 2012). It is important to note here that “equality of opportunity exists where everyone is accorded the same chance to develop his or her capacities and to be acknowledged for personal accomplishments irrespective of characteristics such as gender, religion, political stance, color of the skin, or social background, that is, characteristics which are not related to their personal performance” (Burger,
I had a lot obstacle of education from a young age. I was born in Colombia and Spanish was my first language. When I moved to Korea, I had to learn Korean and was behind of learning when I entered an elementary school.

Kevin Guerra Professor Orozco English 101 15 January 2023 Internalized Oppression within the Education System Is it time for our K-12 compulsory schooling education system in America to get an overhaul? The sentiment that this system is long overdue for restructuring is felt across the board of educators, instructors, administration, and communities.
