The exciting aspect of creating a classroom community where there is respect for individual voices is that there is infinitely more feedback because students do feel free to talk-and talk back. And, yes, often this feed-back is critical. Moving away from the need for immediate affirmation was crucial to my growth as a teacher. I learned to respect that shifting paradigms or sharing knowledge in new ways challenges; it takes time for students to experience that challenge as positive
I like this idea. It emphasize the importance of paying attention on individual voices, which would create positive effect to the classroom community. This would let students feel they are participating in the class and they can make something for the class. I remember that when I was in high school, my literature teacher like everyone to talking their ideas in the class, and he is respect to all of us. This cause me really like his class and feel very exciting when I taking the class. Thus, respecting to the students' voices in the classroom community would promote constructive dialogue and bring positive effect to the education.

Making the classroom a democratic setting where everyone feels a responsibility to contribute is a central goa! of trans-formative pedagogy.
I agree with this statement. Making the classroom a democratic setting requires everyone to work hard on it. This would let everyone realize they were participating in the class. Thus, it would let people feel their individual responsibility. This emphasizes the importance of cultivating individual responsibility, which would promote the development of euqal education.

We had not realized how much faculty would need to unlearn racism to learn about col-onization and decolonization and to fully appreciate the neces-sity for creating a democratic liberal arts learning experience.
It implies it is important for faculties to get rid of pre-existing prejudices and misconceptions related to race, then they can attend to those meaning topics related with colonization and decolonization. In the context of education, it emphasize the development of faculties and dismantling racial biases in order to develop an equal educational environment.

Emphasizing that a white male professor m an Enghsh tra. ,. ak d arttnent who teaches only work by "great white men IS m -ep . . ing a political decision, we had to work cons1stently agamst and through the overwhelming will on the part of folks to deny the politics of racism, sexism, heterosexism, and so forth that · form how and what we teach. We found again and again that :most everyone, especially the old guard, were more distur~ed by the overt recognition of the role our political perspectives play in shaping pedagogy than by their pa~sive acce~tance of ways of teaching and learning that reflect bmses, particularly a white supremacist standpoint.
This statement shows that centering on 'work by 'great white men' is not neutral but carries political implications. This implies when people try to challenge this. They would realize the restriction of the role of racism, sexism. This implies the bias exist in the traditional educational way.

Let's face it: most of us were taught in classrooms where styles of teachings reflected the hotion of a single norm of thought and experience, which we were encouraged to believe was universal. This has been just as true for nonwhite teachers as for white teachers. Most of us learned to teach emulating this model.
This statement accept a common educational way, which is the education style have been think as a single norm of thought. From past to now. this style have been exist for a long time, and people may potentially think that education should be that kind of style. This would lead people feel concerns about possible limitations and lack of diversity in educational practice. Also, it implies that we should apply a way with more diversities.

In addition to dealing with any number of indignities as a result of being perceived as somehow undeserving of their admission slots, poor college stu-dents must also face dilemmas that the moneyed do not. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds suffer not only the damaging comments and class-based assumptions from peers and professors but also the social isolations that stem from the frequent predicament of not having college-experienced family members or friends with whom to relate. Expensive opportunities may elude them: Can I afford to study abroad and gain more global citizenship skills, or must I work one or several jobs to pay my tuition? Once paid, whom will I need to financially support back home? Moreover, it is often difficult to prepare for graduate or professional schools if none or few around you have advanced degrees.
This statement shows the challenges the poor college students are facing now. Financial restriction cause the college students feel difficult to make decisions when they are facing problems. Meanwhile, the limited money would cause them lack some of experience to deal with something. Also, they may see the gap between classes when they are studying in the college, which may destroy their confidence in some degree. This implies addressing fianancial challenges is crucial for promoting equal opportunities.

We know that disproportionate numbers of poor children are far more likely to be identified as less academically adept or even as having special needs. The early tracking and labeling of children reared in poverty is cumulative and devastating. It not only hampers students' self-esteem and cripples their own expectations of themselves but also, as Rist (1970/2000) discovered, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy for what too often becomes a trajectory of underachievement.
I think this statement shows how bad the potential discrimination is. Just like what the author mentions, people may potentially think that poor children are not good at study. This would cause the children to hate studying in some degree and they would have low expectations of them. Therefore, it shows that correcting people's thinking is very important to achieve education equality. At the same time. the statement shows that the economic inequality is a worse problem need to be solved from side.

Part-time employment is the only sphere in which women outearn men. Their pay on full-time jobs continues to lag, with women earning a mere 81 cents to the dollar when compared to men with equal or fewer credentials (Mundy, 2012). I often share with students that my sister's employer worked her 39 hours per week for years to avoid providing health insurance. She had no access to pap smears, annual "well woman" breast exams, birth control, or a regular physician when she took ill. My mother recently ended a one-year stint at Walmart, where she was daily promised full-time employment. She is 63 years old, takes 11 prescrip-tion medications and suffers from a number of health conditions that require frequent doctor ;isits. She was consistently worked just shy of 40 hours-again, the employer avoiding having to provide full-time benefits. During her final week on the job, she worked 39.5 hours.
This statement and the example shows how the gender discrimination affect the education inequality. Women can only working in part-time positions with limited benefits which implies the chances for them to accept education is limited too. Meanwhile, because of the economic difference, it cause the inequality in economy, which would affect the chances for individuals to accept better education. Over a long time, this discrimination cause the inequality exist in education.

Racial minorities (better phrased, "global majorities") are dispro h f . d. d por-tionately represented in poverty. T ere ore, an mor mate an overwhelmingly fewer number of people of color have access to ~enerational wealth based on their recognition as only three-fifths of a human bemg and the subsequent denial of property ownership as a direct result of being property themselves. Masses of people of color who have been denied personhood, rights to stolen lands citizenship, and any number of basic human freedoms based solely on race hav; also been denied generational access to wealth in the form of inherited property and assets.
This shows one of the reasons why people are poor. Meanwhile, I think the 'three-fifths of a human' may imply the Three-Fifths Compromise in the United States Constitution. This statement implies the problem of the poor cannot be formed in a short time; it seems like a historical problem. Because of the inequality happened in the past and it exist for a such long time, the gap between poor and wealth become larger and larger. It emphasizes the profound impact of historical racial inequality on contemporary economic disparities.

He conceptualized public education as "the great equalizer," or the most powerful mechanism for abating class-based "prejudice and hatred," and, most important, the only means by which those without economic privilege or generational wealth could experience any hope of equal footing.
I agree with the statement since education is very essential to reach the equity of the society. I think education is one way people to change their destiny. When a poor child start accept education and the child want to put effort on it. She may become successful in the future, and then change her family. Then, her child would accept education just like her, from generation to generation, the gap between people may become less and less. Therefore, the society may reach equity at some degree. His statement emphasize education play an essential rule to create a equall environment for everyone.

An honest attempt to secure a good education for poor children therefore leaves policymakers with two difficult choices. They can send them to schools with wealthier children, or they can, as a reasonable second best, seek to give them an education in their own neighborhood that has the features of school-ing for well-off students. The former has proved so far to be too expensive po-litically, and the latter has often been too expensive financially. Americans want all children to have a real chance to learn, and they want all schools to foster democracy and promote the common good, but they do not want those things enough to make them actually happen.
This statement shows one of the way to solve the problem of making sure the poor children to accept education. But this method exist problems. One of way exist politically problem and another one is financial problem. I think this implies that people hanker for education equity, but they are lack of political will and financial support. This shows that before reach education equity, financial and political problems is a big challenge need to be solved.

Yet this progress has met limits. Hispanics and inner city residents still drop out much more frequently than others, the gap between black and white achievement rose during the 1990s after declining in the previous decade, the achievement gap between students from lower-and higher-class families has barely budged, and poor students in poor urban schools have dramatically lower rates of literacy and arithmetic or scientific competence. Most importantly, life chances depend increasingly on attaining higher education, but class back-ground is as important as ever in determining who attends and finishes a four-year college.
This shows that even take progress, there still exist some shortage. I think it is avoidless since it is difficult to do one thing perfect in a very short time. In the paragraph, it shows that the difference between the grade of the children from upper and lower class is still large. This implies that social inequality still has a big effect on the education and it is a big problem that needs to be solved in order to fill the gap between the upper and lower class.

The American dream is egalitarian at the starting point in the "race of life," but not at the end. That is not the paradox; it is simply an ideological choice.
I disagree with the statement a little since I do not think the starting point of the race of life is equal for everyone. Based on my understanding, everyone in the world is different, same is their family. Not everyone can accept good education when they are reaching an appropriate age. For some families, whose parents accept good education before they know the importance of education, their child may accept good education in the future and vice versa. At the same time, I think this statement is kind of simplify the process of chasing American Dream.

Public schools are where it is all supposed to start-they are the central institutions for bringing both parts of the dream into practice. Americans ex-pect schools not only to help students reach their potential as individuals but
In this paragraph, I can know that public school play an important role in American Dreams. In the meanwhile, public school can be a basis for citizens to cultivate their good citizenship and the realization of there individual potential. This paragraph implies that not only publish is beneficial for the citizens' individual development. but also good for the country;s development. I think when the education degree for everyone in the country have been improved, the country have a bright future。

We have a great national opportunity-to ensure that every child, in every school, is challenged by high standards, ... to build a culture of achievement that matches the optimism and aspirations of our country. -President George W Bush, 2000 There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
In this statement, President George W. Bush emphasizes that all kids across all schools in the country need to face the challenges of high standards. It is a really positive wish and the president want to build an achievement culture that is aligned with the positive outlook for the nation. Based on my understanding, this statement is just like what has been emphasized in my country: "Education is the basis of the country." I can tell that for most countries, encouraging the development of education would be benefit to the country. Also, 'there is nothing wrong...', this statement shows that the presidents is confident with challenge, and this statement implies a positive point.
