I agree with Yao post, it is so damaging what teachers do to students, by judging them based on their environment or lifestyle. In our pass reading it we learned that many teachers go to areas to teach where they have never lived so do not have any idea about how to serve those students. It is so important to understand those environments to know how to serve then and not judge them. Being at a school and understanding the students will give you an understanding that will allow you to not stereotype just based on their skin color or their environment.

I find this passage eye opening and powerful. If schools did get a counselor to speak to low-income students about their unique needs this would be so helpful. I remember struggling as a student, my teachers telling me I have special needs and wanting support, but they didn't know how to support me. With this an adult could figure out to help me understand how I needed to learn. So, if this is implemented a lot of students would benefit from this a can create a trailblazer effect for all students. I would love to do a job like this actually and hep support students step by step.

Reading allowed me to learn so much about Culturally and Linguistically diverse (CLD) means and how student can be affected by the over idea of what it means to CDL. How it plays into special education is very interesting. African American students who are in disproportionate places do identity ended to be in special education classes, but I don't think it's because of them but the environment and curriculum

I find this so relatable because my brother is 2 and half years right now and he is only saying a couple of word, but I feel like it is hard to really know if it is a disability or if they are going at their own pace. I think it is so important to have faith that all things will work and that nothing will define them besides the action choose to make. This article was very hard to read because we know that this is one story out of many. T.J, is just one that was highlighted but speaks to many different students. The percentages that this happens to be high.

I agree Ruiyao post, T.J. was not helped when he needed to be and create a lifelong of consequences that would make it hard for him to catch up. I am glad they are showing us the injustices in the education system of a story of one individual person because there are many stores of a general inequality, but this one is a story with a face and a name. It gave us a perspective that is needed to make the problem more connectable and real. I enjoyed reading your post and I totally agree and happy I came across your comment.

In this passage a great perspective was given that being another shouldn't be the focus of one's attention but rather addressing the inequality all together of itself. It's a larger problem at hand that needs to be addressed so that this social construct can be handled all together. This would mean that schools would have to reframe there polices and the way they address these issues. With this many things can be delt with it goes back to Tuesday's readings about giving space to the larger idea so that schools can focus on what's most important for all students.

I agree with Lianna post , this is not right for Lydia to be treated differently in school and treated like she is not normal. I remember moments feeling like an outsider but that is not right especially at that age because this is the age where everything is developing at once. Discrimination plays a huge role at schools and can cause families and students to be under high emotional stress. I learned Othering can be done by yourself or other which means you should pay attention to see if you are causing it or if it just happening to you because of your identity.

I feel like Sex Education should be talked about in schools because students probably won't ever talk about it with their parents unless they have that relationship. Which means they would not understand what that space is like in their life's and will be Pron to making more mistakes. If school is the only place for students to learn more about that then it is a good place for them to learn about it. I didn't have a sex ed class and i think it would have been beneficial.

This passage is not only true for Asian parents but is true for so many other cultures, but it goes to show how parents really do care for their children. Makes me wonder though do parents sometime forget that they were young and had these feelings and emotional and acted on them. Like parents know that this will be a distraction because it's a normal part of life and almost preventable and uncontrollable. I understand their fear because it is really and con effect there studying and it being effective.

I agree with Christina, that this quote definitely captures the experience of students not only who are LGBTQ but also who are introverted. It is so important to understand that this injustice happens everywhere not only in certain case but in others to. They can apply, relate, and be the same just different contexts. I was deeply moved with how we see similarities between student's form all communities. This is so powerful and needs to be explored more.

As I read this section, we do see that there is this trend that schools like Columbine often do make sure that that all the students are safe. they can sometimes not protect the ones getting bulled and harassed. I see that in my school in high school they Definity focused on the safety of all students, but should that be the school to check all the box's i know that they do have a lot already on their plate. Not saying they should not address it but find a balance.

This passage sheds light on the last chapter Mayo chapter 2 that talks about how words such as the ones used in this passage can be harmful for students. So, I can see why students don't want to be called these words and 74% of people get upset because they are used to degrade your femininity or musicality. Which is wrong because it hurts them.

I am responding to Mfoolin, this passage is showing us what it is like to be an LGBTQ student. Sheds light on the experiences and abuse. We can't step in into their shoes without understanding but now after reading we come to a better understanding of what it is like. It's important to give students guidance on how to handle this and process their feelings. I think to talk it through is so important to understand.

Wow Sebastian, I never thought about this idea that there is even a hierarchy in this community that prioritizes the opinions and actions of white induvial. This is seen everywhere, and this is extremely dangerous because it is happening everywhere we go. In many communities we see this injustice and treatment against minorities here.

Lesly, I agree we can hear how a rumor can start from nothing. For example, your hair color then can turn into something that causes you pain for the rest of your life because it lasts longer than it should. It makes me realizes the lasting impact of our choices and how they affect us. Also, the importance of how small things make a huge difference.

This is a hard conversation to have because people have their beliefs that they have and so does religions. I feel like it creates a divide between people when we do not try to understand each other and love each other. Like said those it is a very touchy conversation to have because of how people feel and the hurt they experienced but it is good to talk about it and come to and understand.

I found this passage interesting because not only do we see that there are difference communities when it comes to people who identify as LGBTQ. I am learning in my ASL class that not only is the community of Deaf people just white people but that this communities encompasses any different communities. Like a Deaf Black Christian person. I just find it interesting that there are many aspects to a person then just what they are seen as.

This passage shows how important trust and relationships are for undocumented students navigating in school. Those placed in advanced tracks had smaller classes and more access to teachers and counselors, which helped them feel safe enough to share their status and ask for help. It wasn’t just about academics, it was about being seen and supported. When students feel like someone genuinely cares, they’re more likely to open up and get the guidance they need. This reminds me how many school structures can either build or block those connections, and how much that matters for students facing extra challenges.

Undocumented students face extra challenges when trying to transfer from high school to college, especially without strong support from their schools. While other marginalized groups also struggle with access, undocumented students deal with even more barriers because they’re excluded from the federal and state aid. This makes it harder for them to apply to college or find scholarships. On top of that, their legal status adds stress that affects their well-being and ability to focus. It’s important for schools to step up and offer real support so all students aren’t left to figure it all out alone. Everyone deserves a fair chance to succeed.

This section highlights how undocumented students are blocked from key support programs like TRIO, things like work-study, even though they often meet the same criteria as students who qualify. These programs are meant to help low-income, first-gen, and minority students, but because they’re federally funded, undocumented students are left out. Which sucks terribly. That means they miss out on both financial help and the chance to build support systems on campus. It’s so frustrating to see how students who need the most help are often the ones with the fewest resources and support. This problem we have to address together.

This was interesting. Flor’s story shows how being undocumented can shape someone’s whole life, starting from school. She had to work from a young age to help her family, which made it hard to stay in school and feel supported. Looking back, she wishes someone had reached out and shown they had cared. Her words made me think about how many students feel alone and unseen, especially when they’re dealing with tough situations. As a future teacher, I want to help be that person who notices and supports students like Flor. Everyone deserves someone who believes in them and helps them see a beautiful future for themselves.
