I agree with this statement because many elite privates do not fulfill the needs of low-income students. They give them some money, but not enough for these students to afford it. This is the reason why low-income students decide to go to community college first and transfer. It is cheaper and close to home so they are still able to help bring in income for their family. Elite schools try to help out the upper middle class and the rich instead of helping the ones who truly need it.

I do believe that the reasons students drop out are because they feel as if they do not get the attention needed or the college does not serve them as they wish it did. My cousin for example, dropped out of community college because she did not have teachers who helped her learn the way she wanted. She said they would not focus on their students nor did they interact with them. Even though college is much different than high school I think it is still necessary for teachers to know a bit about their students. This is a very interesting topic because it is also very important that there government needs to focus heavily on education.

I strongly agree with this quote because I do believe that attending universities is to help educate and raise a future economic level. Most families that are low income is because the parents do not have a job that pays above minimum wage. This is mostly due to the fact that they do not have an education further than a high school diploma, if that. I can strongly agree with that connection.

What I got from this is that some people just prefer to work jobs and get money now. People like store managers for retail who have started families and are just living off of hourly rates. I have coworkers that chose not to go to college because they would rather work full time in retail rather than going to school to pursue a job that they dont they could even get.

It stands out to me how much colleges fail to serve their students especially considering how much money they pay for their education whether it is from financial aid or out of their own pockets. That is one thing I was scared of coming into college, whether I was going to do well or not because I honestly struggle with school. I was always told how ruthless college was going to be compared to high school. How much easier it is to fail a class in college compared to high school.

Being in the middle class is not enough, people can barely make ends meet. People in the middle class do not even consider themselves being apart of the middle class.

This article glamorizes putting people into the middle class when that is the group that struggles with income inequality.

This sentence is really interesting to me. Colleges exist to give you a higher education help give you a degree, when in reality, the tuition rate is getting high and people in lower income families can't keep up with paying so students drop out with debt. All you do is pay the tuition, do all work and pass your classes and then you earn you degree. You don't really learn anything. I remember talking with a friend and he said that he has spent 3 years in college not really learning anything and considered dropping out, but he can't because he is already deep in debt and leaving would just make it worse because he can't pay it off.

It is so hard for anyone to go to college if they are low income, whether they have family who attended college or not, whether they receive financial aid or not. There are so many factors that play into it, but a main one being money. Money makes the world go round, and thats the sad reality. Low income families cannot afford to send their children to college because they can barely even afford to pay rent most of the time, they live day by day a lot of the time, a college savings account is almost unheard of for low income families. And college is at an all time high, it is ridiculously expensive even for PUBLIC schools, most US families cannot afford it, and the government does not fund public universities enough. Which only then leads for lower income families to continue the cycle of no education and poverty, and continue the middle/upper classes on top. The cycle repeats.

This to is very impressive, but I would also understand why those in the lower class would be more successful than those who were already coming into ivy schools from middle/upper classes. Those who are in the lower class have already endured so much emotionally, physically and mentally to let alone be going to college, then to get into an Ivy League, whether it be on scholarship or taking out massive amounts of loans to even attend both are crucial. Attending on scholarship, they must remain at the top of the top on their A game, or they won't be able to afford school, and if they took out loans, obviously the massive amount of loans will have to be paid off, and worth it somehow. Therefore those of lower income families will obviously work 100X harder in college because it was already100x harder for them to even be there, and they want to break the cycle of poverty, they want to "make it."

there are many problems with elite schools not serving as may low income students as they should is a statement i agree with low income is directly associated with minority because the vast majority of lower income people as compared to weathlier people are minority. many minority students arent even exposed to ivy league because the idea itself seems out of reach resources arent even provided in lower income neighborhoods that home many low income families.

This reminds me of a college counselor I had once. She explained to us that she did not finish getting a degree at the original college she had chosen due to the amount of debt she was in. Instead she had to finish getting her degree at a community college. Sadly she is in debt until this day.

This was interesting because one could interpret it as the lower class being more motivated and taking education more seriously than the upper class.Which could slightly explain the changes in the graph between the statistics of children and adults.

I find it interesting that the texts says most people make more money then their parents did when inflation and job discription wasnt taken into consideration when talking about the lower/ middle class I am skeptical about this article because i feel it didnt take it account first generation students or students of color because there are alot of other things that come into factor.

i feel like this is such an intuitive statement. the only places where having a degree from an elite school would matter is in fields like science or law, where theres high standards and lots of competition. in many other fields, just having a degree is enough, they dont care where its from unless it really matters for the job. and for a student trying to get money, most of the time you dont get a job in your major's field right away.

i feel like thats a little bit of a misleading statement. yes, not a lot of college graduates are unemployed, but that doesn't mean they are working jobs that can give them a living wage along with money to pay off student debt

thats so crazy to me. in the long run it makes sense, but the FIRST job after college already earning them more seems unbelievable. could be partially due to higher wages and inflation, but thats probably only a small part of it.

The pricetag of a college degree is a extremely frustrating topic for me, and was one of the many reasons I veered away from the college path entirely. The fact is, after considering inflation, even just a few generations ago, our elders were able to attend college for pennies comparatively to wheat we pay now. To me, it can feel like "for what?" because of incompetent staffing, the price of housing, etc.

This is very similar to my own experience, to a degree. Senior year of high school, I was accepted to many of schools that I had applied to, but I didn't feel the passion to attend, have the money, or have the drive to throw myself directly from living with family into a giant school. I think this was a reasonable decision, because I feared burning out after the first year and dropping out after accumulating a year's worth of student debt. Instead, I took a gap year (albeit away from home) to save money and just take some time off. I know that attending college is the important next step to grow and to achieve my success, but the year away gave me the courage to do so.

It hurts to see students not attend colleges they've worked hard to get into because they have low income. This is what I mean by students not having the same opportunities as others due to their socio-economic status. Despite all this, they can still succeed. Not everyone can or wants to go to a university right out of high school. Community college is beneficial because you can save money and be more prepared for moving away.

I strongly feel that "Improving higher education should be a national priority" as well. Education is essential and the basis for the foundation we build in our society. I believe this needs to start from elementary school and continue throughout all years of education. This isn't happening because all students aren't treated fairly. They do not have the same opportunities, resources, and support that other students have. I think the solution starts with improving this issue here.

This quote stood out to me because this is the mindset I'm trying using to push myself. I actually didn't want to go to college in the first place because I already burnt my self out in high school and I thought I wasn't going to get accepted to any colleges because of my grades. My mom was the one who pushed me to continue my education and she let me live my life out here in SF. I want to live happy and healthy so that's why I'm working towards my degree.

This quote stood out to me because this is one of many concerns I have while attending college. I questioned myself asking, what if I don't do well in college? Attending college costs a lot of money including the materials needed for each class, dorming or the rent. In the end, the experience varies between people but a majority are still paying off their debt.

I think it's important to note that there is no evidence listed for this. This sentence really stood to to me because it is a claim that might not be factual but is making readers believe that only going to an elite college will make you more successful. This reminds me of high school because many counselors and educators often told students that the school you attend does not matter as much as what you make out of the school you attend. I do not think the author realized the confusion it would cause adding this line.

This stands out to me because it is listing different groups of specific people to show how they are excelling. I believe they added this to show that these are groups people might not think of often in college but are groups that are excelling. This was interesting to me because I am a first generation student so I am usually placed into a group of people as well. It also reminds me of high school and grouping different type of people who get college education.

I think this quote is very significant because it shows that the issues with higher education are not political. They are universal problems that effect everyone. I think it is interesting that it is addressed.

This statement reaffirms the importance of college and higher education by describing the lasting effects it gives. This contributes to the article's thesis of there needing to be an improvement of access to higher education. I find this quote to be interesting because I would imagine graduates to be less happy but it's good to know.

From the way I see it, wealthy kids, of course, are happier and healthier than low-income kids. I mean, the number of challenges they face is not even close to what students from low-income and underrepresented backgrounds face. Wealthy students are automatically put into the top of this college hierarchy that exists in our education system, while all other students have to climb their way to the top.

Students coming from low-income families face more challenges when it comes to getting an education. Financials is one of the most critical aspects for disadvantaged students in deciding whether or not they are going to be attending college. Another aspect that also plays a big role for students who are not only low-income but also first-gen is getting the emotional and informational support they need. Students who are the first ones in their family to attend college might often feel they are alone in their college journey. I think that can lead students to feel depressed, and eventually drop out or not attend college at all.

I liked this quote because it makes sense to me. If more money is put into public education, then many people of lower-income would probably be more likely to attend college and graduate as well. Then, they could find jobs and start boosting the economy. I think that more jobs helps the economy at least. More money given to public education probably means more financial aid to students too which would boost there chances of success after college, since they have less student debt.

I believe what this is saying is that kids with wealthier families will go to more expensive colleges who have the means to provide a better college experience for the students. This would then result in the students being more likely to graduate. This claim is sad to me because it means that lower-income students who don't go to a more expensive school have a disadvantage. Earlier in the reading John Friedman even noted that students from more modest backgrounds are less likely to be on elite college campuses. All students supposedly have an equal opportunity to go to college and graduate with a degree. But in this case the opportunity between high and lower income students would not be equal if lower income students are less likely to graduate.

This is an interesting claim to me because if it is in fact true, then why would people ever promote going to more elite schools over working-class ones. I feel like an idea is instilled in many kids minds that it is better to try to go to a more elite school because they will probably fare better after college, but if working-class colleges can do help you the same or even better, should going to a more reputable school even matter? Also, is it worth spending more money on college in this case too. it reminds me of how my mom would try to steer me away from going to city college in high school because she thought that going to a university would be better for me. But would she have thought differently if she saw this claim?

I did not know that heroin was falling down to high school students and making a big impact on them.

How do they literally get high?

Disengage to draw back from.

Even "racists" need help sometimes, sometimes that need for help is the reason they act out in racist ways (this is not an excuse just a though about on how to stop racist behaviors which McAleer talks about in his own writing).

This does sound like a form of public shaming, to prevent an undesired behavior, but it could go so wrong. Like the prof from earlier in the article, but when there is no law citizens tend to take it into their own hands.

By actively participating in the march a person marching can be assumed to believe in what the marchers are promoting; a danger would be to dox a bystander who may be observing, or protesting the march.

I think this to be true. For a while doxxing as they say wasn't something really heard of besides in the online game world. That quickly has changed and now we see doxxing going on in many forms. An example was in the last election when Wikileaks leaked out documents on certain candidates.

doxxing seems to be an act of black mailing done online by people who wish to be anonymous towards those they feel are there enemies however when it's done in person, its questionable if considered to be doxxing.

This level of engagement is clearly different from the beginning nature of doxxing revealing the identity of other hackers. The notion of the general public "jumping in the fray" creates a feeling of chaos and disregard of any private rights. If everyone does not respect privacy, I am afraid going out in any public setting is now opening up yourself to any and all forms of privacy-breaches.

One of the concerning aspects of Internet vigilantism is the nature of the internet being both ephemeral (due to the overwhelming amount of new, incoming information) and eternal (due to the nature of reaction and spread of information) simultaneously

Interesting logic. If these current protesters aren't bothered by their identities being known then clearly other things are at play and approaches other than vigilantism seem would be more constructive.

I would agree that this kind of activity is passive aggressive and is different than revealing someone's previously chosen hidden identity.

This is a perfect example of someone being put online for an offense that obviously he had no connection to. People on the internet taking videos without permission have became judge and jury. (Bowles,2017)

State funding for college has fallen, and tuition has risen. Students either accumulate a lifetime of debt or simply cannot go to college.

This is another very interesting concept. A lot of the colleges stated above are the bottom of the barrel colleges that everyone disses, yet there is a lot of upwards mobility for those that achieve their success there.

It seems that in a modern society, the working classs is becoming more reluctant to go to college for the weak payoff of hard work and would rather go straight into working, as it saves time and accumulates money faster.

The graph above is extremely hard to read and i'm pretty sure they purposely make it hard to read

Not really student loans are a giant anchor around the neck for people who can't pay out of pocket, and its only really the american colleges that do this basically the world over has either free college or colleges that cost 1/4 as much and still teach the same material

What does some public policy experts entice? the definition is something dangerous to play around with in the purposes of admission for people will then choose the identity that is most beneficial.

I don't really understand what this remark means. it might mean something synonymous to threading the needle or a hyperbole therein of itself.

despite the context the articale provides, i disagree. I believe that the identity of your generation is a conglomerate of your physical and digital footprint along with your identity. This means that your identity is yours to choose, however you can't identify with a generation that you haven't left a significant footprint in.

not really how colleges do it anymore, the huge monetary barrier(in america at least) kicks the poor down and keeps the wealthy up. despite the many programs promoting lower class and minorities representation in college.

maybe they should go into the fact that his dad dying when he was young had an effect on him rather than looking at the lack of an effect he had on him

their parents could not afford to go to college and they can barley send their kids to college because they were not able to get a degree to give them a well paying job

i think this is pretty typical for first generation students. Their parents do not talk about college so they do not talk about college because they do not know what to say or what questions to ask

I like how the prevalence of the position of linemen is included later, but for clarity and to limit the amount of bias before introducing a key fact like prevalence on the field after prevalence within the disease, it's imperative to restructure here.

While 1300 players have died since the recent inception of the Brain Bank, how many more players have played the game and not had symptoms? Is there something more at play?

The study specifically regards linemen and defensive backs as being the two primary groups, but running backs are not considered as heavily in the original paper due to the limited frequency of consecutive repetitive impacts.

In my opinion, she just listened to her mind and value her emotions rather than only focusing on her career which gave her the chance to experience her dream and having a beautiful life with her husband and children.

I think her statement makes it clear that music has its own flow to create new ideas. With person's skill music can can be more innovative and creative. We can't force music to be in our own way.

Although, indeed she is brave enough to study by herself to discover something new but working with others can give more opportunists to explore different new ideas and sharing ideas to others; And criticism and feedback always help to improve.

What instruments are used in a traditional string quartet?

She must be confident and fearless to take that decision; she is also self reliant on her knowledge and skill in music.

What is the 12-tone scale and how does it differ from the standard Diatonic scale?

How was Ruth feeling to be the first one? Did she expect that to be happen?

How is the contrapuntal texture different than the homophonic texture of a piece like a lied?

What is one musical technique that Ives used that was not seen in the European model?

Which female composer that we studied earlier had a career similar to what the author is implying here?

This is along similar lines to Fanny Mendelssohn, Being the feminine figure as she was in the household, she was to uphold certain standards and was forced to choose to commit to her family life over her music. It seems that we've seen many times throughout this class how women composers were stifled by the expectations of men, like Seeger on Crawford, to retain their place and their duties at home.

This brings the contemporary composer and musician Jacob Collier to mind. Collier's compositions are infused with intensely dissonant chordal progressions and yet when they land on their diatonic moments, the listener is inclined to hear the movements as natural. Collier also piggybacks off of Ernst Levy's radical idea of negative harmony which creates pieces that transform through dissonance to resolution in non-conventional manners.

What do you think about this sentences? At that time, women musicians was not supported by the society because of the gender role?

This reminds me of many prominent musicians throughout music history that we've discussed in class who have written pieces that are revolutionary for their time. One such example is JS Bach, the father of fugues. People thought that fugues were too sporadic in their polyphony but were later to be deemed as intricate pieces with disjointed but interconnected lines.

I know where Ruth Crawford is coming from in this regard. As a musical arranger for an acapella group, there are times where I run into roadblocks of creativity on how to best express the song with my own spin on it, and I often fear that I won't discover what I want to say with my arrangement.

When you can work alone, you're more able to focus and fixate on discovering what you really want, and your issue-solving process. I relate to this because I've experienced this in my career setting where I take it upon myself to accomplish my work alone so as to develop my method of problem-solving.

Why she wants to avoid?

What did she mean by that? Did she mean the pieces she wrote did not reach up the expectation she wants?

From my perspective, this piece was kind of annoying and the melody was "terrible". Do you have any thought about this piece?

Why she wrote "sickeningly sweet inanity"? What is the purpose of this sentence?

What caused her to want to return to composing music?

Why was Crawford unable to write pieces that she was passionate about? Was she writing for herself or purely for monetary gain?

How is this possible? Did Crawford try to separate her personal and professional lives?

Why did they work together? Did they have similar political or artistic beliefs?

Did Crawford have the same political views as her husband? What was her motive behind writing these pieces?

How was Crawford able to balance both the duties of a wife and that of a professional composer?

Did Seeger write music like this as well?

How does their love story compare to that of Clara and Robert Schumann?

Did she receive the credit that she deserved in helping him with his compositions?

Was it common for women to amass a lot of fame and success during this time period?

How did modernism impact her musical style?

Was her family supportive of this endeavor?

oh 100% percent obviously

What's so special about this piece?

Is this because she was restricted by her duties as a wife?

How did her marriage impact her work?

Who was her support system during this time?

Since she did not study with any prominent teachers, was this a detriment to the quality of her work or did this allow her to create a unique and distinctive style of sound?

Was Ruth nervous? Did she suffer from imposter syndrome like many women in underrepresented fields do today?

In my opinion it is hard to consider it "American modernism" since its stylistic roots seem quite embeded in the German expressionist current of the time. I think that true American modernists wouldn't include this piece as being part of their movement. I think Ives would disagree strongly.

She might not have used the 12-tone scale, but her quartet is quite reminiscent of the compositions of the second Vienese school.

It is quite hard to believe that she was unaware of what was going on in the country. The Nazi party gained power only 3 years after she arrived in Germany.

According to an article I found on the unemployment rate in Germany: "By the end of 1930 the figure had reached nearly 4 million, 15.3 per cent of the population." This makes her claim quite ironic. https://spartacus-educational.com/GERunemployment.htm

Evidence part of BEAM concept that shows why black children are perceived to be more mature and how this happens.

The cover of Uncle Tom's cabin depicts Topsy as crazy looking (messy hair, weird pose, yelling) even though she is just a child

The author used a statistic in this line to make a point that black kids are commonly viewed as older, which takes away their innocence. Later in the article it is expounded upon.

the initial label of innocence put on children actually was the catalyst for viewing black children as the opposite. It's included primarily because history of what went wrong in our past is a great motivator for moving forward.

If this article were to be published as a book instead, it would be different because it would most likely include many more examples to give us the same sense that the author is trying to give us in this article

This section sets out to talk about the ties between childhood and innocence. Originally, children were actually viewed much closer to devil spawn, and needed to be cleansed and taught innocence, or whatever the equivalent was at the time. However, with Sentimentalists, they worked on the perception of childhood innocence being the only real difference between children and adults. However, this only applied to white children.

This line creates a dark tone that illustrates the story both to give the readers a serious sense of what is going on as well as to describe "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

I think that the author added this paragraph in order to show how people of all races see black children as less innocent and provides examples of how and why

The main idea is that black children are viewed as older, less innocent, and more adultlike by people of all races. It's included because not only does it elaborate on the main information in this piece, it gives hard evidence for the idea that they're viewed as older - one who was killed was perceived as a decade older than he was. This connects primarily because it establishes the problem for which the article sets out to solve.

Racism has roots in our culture and was spread onto people through the use of propaganda portraying black children as wild and uncontrollable compared to the innocent white children they would portray.

hey

I dont think the entirety of a person's situation should be focused to one term that can have hundreds of variations. I feel that of theyre gtheyre going to have such a situation in place, all scenarios should be addressed.

what is hairsplitting?

what other definitions?

There seems to be different types of "first generation" students, not just ones that are low income or the first to attend college in the family.

These are are all great programs aimed at helping first generation students succeed.

"First gen" doesn't always take education into consideration. It could account for other variables.

I agree that this student is a first gen, he was not raised by his father- the parent that hold the bachelor degree.

broader can be both good and bad.

it's important that when you identify yourself as first generation, that you are using it because you need it.

it's assumed that if you are first gen you are also come from a low income family.

there are many variations of a first gen.

some definitions are at disadvantage for students

increase in income inequality calls for increase of efforts

the definition has a hidden meaning

other definitions have formed to accommodate for students

too technical in term and not understanding

In my belief, a first gen student is someone that is first in his family to attend college.

I believe college do check your information to make sure you are truthful or not.

Is this referring to guardians or divorce parents?

I can associate because I'm the one filling out all the form when I apply for schools since my parent can't read English.

I feel that each school system like UC, CSU, or maybe private should have at least some rule like labeling be the same. Instead of being base on how their system view a person.

Trying to reduce the costs of a degree, but how?

It is assumed that first-gen students come from low-income families which is not always the case

They're trying to reduce the cost of college which should be a main goal

that's a really good thing for the disadvantaged students
