      I have to brainstorm ways to connect my geometry content to the children lives and social issues

    2. he argu-ments, rears, laughter, joy, and anger are the crucible from which a real community starts

      It seems the text is saying true communities only form from pain and I am not certain if I completely agree with the statement.

I feel this is dangerous statement or wording perhaps.

    3. I remembered a former student, Sekou, who returned from Morehouse College with a story about a ritual chat he participated in during the early days of his freshman year

      This is the NSO ritual in the Atlanta University Center (Spelman, Morehouse, and CAU), I participated in it. In the beginning they make you feel as if you are involved in something bigger than yourself. You feel the history and tradition encompassed in the schools. Many people do feel a missing part if they miss NSO. It is the initial bond of the incoming class.
