It’s interesting how without fail you can always find the ideas of poverty as well with urbanism but as i was growing up i assumed being in an urban neighborhood was always more rich because you’re able to see everyone as yourself. Almost as though as you have less wealth you have more cultural and social wealth

It’s so interesting how as you continue in life this mocking of class and income almost increases at an exponential rate in which as you realize you’re poor you start comparing yourself with others
And that's exactly what it felt like being told you're poor without being ready for it.
I think this idea of sapp railing he was poor because of others mocking him is incredibly powerful and shows how school can reinforce the labels of class
The point is, it can be a mistake for a teacher to make assumptions about a student's circumstances or support system without knowing the situation.
I enjoy how a lot of the readings this week revolve around reflecting and understanding a educators bias when it comes to students

It’s interesting reading how some teachers have to understand that their bias especially as i aim to work in the orientation program i also have to acknowledge where the students are coming from
find myself asking, What did I learn after almost a dozen years in a low-income urban classroom, surrounded by students defined as "at risk" because of their poverty and race? What did I learn about my students? What did I learn about myself?
I admire the authors honesty about her own assumptions as its rare to see people admit their own biases

After reading a bit of this passage i find it interesting how certain parents structure their kids lives around organized activists and it makes me think about how this gives kids practice with speaking up and time management

Latinos Lag behind in Academics,” he wrote that “Hispanic students” were not “pulling their weight” and attributed the cause to cultural factors, suggesting that Asian parents “push their children to move toward academic success,” while Latino parents “are well- meaning but less active
Racial inequality has been so deeply engraved into people of color that now you're forced to compete not only against the oppressive system set up by the white elites but now youre placed into competiotn with other people of color
remember in fifth grade specifically ... I went home every single day in tears because people made fun of me every day. And it probably didn’t help that I didn’t have siblings. I wasn’t particularly tough at all. But I would go home every day in tears because I just felt different, and somebody made fun of me.... I felt that I was inadequate and unable to do anything because I was Asian. It was just the little things that kids would say.... And I would be well aware of the fact that I was different from them
early racists experiences can deeply affect a childs self esteem and sense of belonging in turn causing kids to internalize their feelings of inadequacy

this whole paragraph aims to show how a longstanding “white racial frame” sustains systemic racism and ranks racial groups, placing whites at the top and others, including Asian Americans, in lower positions.
a) if deficient in respect, manners, and responsibility toward others, especially family members. Following from students' definition of education is the implicit notion that learning should be premised on authentic caring, to use Noddings' ( l 984) terminology. That is, learning should be premised on relation with teachers and other school adults having as their chief concern their students' entire well-being. In contrast to their teachers' expect-ations, Seguin youth prefer to be cared for before they care about school, especially when the curriculum is impersonal, irrelevant, and test driven. U.S.-born students, in particular, display psychic and emotional detachment from a schooling process organized arou
i think there should be time dedicated to connecting a teacher and student on a deeper level because it then gives the student reason to care in the classroom and the teacher a reason to teach properly.

although it wont let me highlight it this whole idea that schools take away your culture and language is so true. as a kid i had a stutter and instead of saying it was because i was a kid my school said it was because i was learning spanish and english at the same time. as such my parents worried i wouldnt have an adulthood in which white society accepted me stopped teaching me spanish.

i believe myself to be very lucky here. although i come from an extremely low income community i had the ability to go to a free charter school in which as opposed to history i was taught ethnic studies in which my teacher taught about the ways that white historians altered history to make them look more sophisticated and nicer

I think to how in school there were so many comprehension tests that ti a point it became less of a whos learning the most and more of a who can remember the most dates and names. i was learning nothing and just remembering things. without the ability to comprehend a writing reading is fruitless
Oh you sound White, you think you're White," they said. And the idea of sounding White was just so absurd to me .... So ninth grade was sort of traumatic in that I started listening to rap music, which I really just don't like. [I said] I'm gonna be Black, and it was just that stupid. But it's more than just how one acts, you know. [The other Black women there] were not into me for the longest time.
I feel like i can connect to this in a deeper level because although i have alot of education under my belt and tons of experience in various areas my speech has never been the most eloquent and thus ive been oftentimes seen as less intelligent than i truly am and can do nothing but act as though the belittling doesn't impact me
Mecklenburg School Dis-trict in North Carolina, Roslyn Mickelson compared the placements of Black and White high school students who had similar scores on a na-tional standardized achievement test they took in the sixth grade. More than half of the White students who scored in the ninetieth to ninety-ninth percentile on the test were enrolled in high school Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) English, while only 20 percent of the Black students who also scored in the ninetieth to ninety-ninth percentile were enrolled in these more-rigorous courses. Meanwhile, 35 percent of White students whose test scores were below the seventieth percentile were taking AP or IB English.
As a poli sci major ive gone through study after study that highlights inequalities at a systematic level and it’s in a way amazing to see the lengths that these inequalities can go in order to make sure communities of color are less likely to grow than white communities
Why are all the Black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?" WALK INTO ANY RACIALLY MIXED HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA AT LUNCH-tune 3:11d you will instantly notice that in the sea of adolescent faces, there is an identifiable group of Black students sitting together. Con-versely, it could be pointed out that there are many groups of White students sitting together as well, though people rarely comment about that. The question on the tip of everyone's tongue is, "Why are the Black kids sitting together?"
I have noticed this and it’s strange how far back this goes. I told my dad about this when i was younger and he told me about how it was even worse when he was in hs because there was often fights between the students in regards to race with people often gettting fatally hurt. I think at some point it became a thing of sittting with people who have faced the same hardships that you have
