I admire the teacher's stance as a "hacker". Teachers have to admit the standards exist in classrooms, but at the same time, teachers need to select appropriate text wisely to meet standards.

Students are surrounded by the institutions where their family members are imprisoned. It's easy for them to feel hopeless. They are forced to believe that they may follow the same route as their family members. However, the institutions are fundamentally unequal. How could they resist this kind of psychological implication and make changes?

Adolescents go to school with their funds of knowledge, and they are willing to talk about their neighborhood. Teachers should create a chance to adolescents to discuss the local community. They will have a better understanding of what happened around them and why that happened?

Spacial justice offers me a new way to understand social justice. It talks about social resources are disproportionally distributed. It includes more than the physical space but all of the relations in this space, environment, quality food, and so on.

Black students are disappointed by the schooling, in which black culture is not valued. So they want to get out of school to find the truth. Finally, they may find more misinformation against black people. The worst thing is that they make the stereotype come true.

"overrepresentation of Black males in special education classes" should be problematic. I read an article, which stated that black students are put in special education disproportionally. Since schools are incapable of providing language classes. Some black students are regarded as retard because they only have language problems. Black youth should not bear on criticism.

Education is their chance to change a life. But, ironically, they are still trapped in the same social status as their parents and grandparents, who have not received an education. It is because their schools are underfunded and lack enough educational service.

This can explain why the crime rate is high in some areas, because education related to identity development and future careers. Deprive people's right of education equals to take away their opportunity for better life. Thus, there would be more social problems.

Teachers need to tell the truth which is important, also students have to recognize that native nation's existence.

Paolo Freire's banking model also pointed that schooling contributes to dehumanization and oppression, because teachers can decide which knowledge is valuable, and students are treated as passive learners.

CL encourages students read beyond the text, and begin to consider who are privileged and underrepresented?

Psychological slavery is more harmful. In the white-dominant culture, the role of black people are marginalized and their contributions are neglected. So the black people will devalue themselves which constraint their gifts in every perspective.

Racism happens between different racial groups, but sexism can happen in the same racial group. Black women bear the tag"black" and "women", so they may encounter more discrimination than other groups.

Schools have employed many form of exclusionary practices, for example, office referrals, suspensions, and expulsions. However, the zero tolerance theory escalated the situation of drop-out rate. Poor Children of color are more likely to be punished strictly for minor noncriminal violations of school rules. This also called "The School to Prison Pipeline".

Critical media literacy plays an important role in shaping youth's world view. Youth learns to break up the stereotypes manipulated by mainstream media. Youth has to build rightness and justice by themselves.

Mainstream media often mislead people and ignore minorities. Critical media literacies is a good platform for people of color and other minorities to have a voice.

It regards the classroom as a supportive community. Traumas are not individually after being brought into the classroom, but a "collective imperative" that matters to many people.

Different people share different opinions of trauma, during this pandemic, some people gain more support from their communities, but others suffer more from pandemic. However, addressing these issues in classroom will help students build an understanding of the underprivileged and empathy with others.

It's true. Healing cannot be ended since we live in a society with so much uncertainties. We don't know when the pandemic will come to an end, we don't know when the racial equality will realize, but we can make sure that if we create a safety context for our students to share their fears and pains, that will help them to have a promising future, instead of falling into a precarious situation.

This question is more reasonable. The way we encourage our students to become writers cannot only be evaluated by students' writing achievement, instead school should reconsider how to value our students as writers and help them with their writing potential.

Writing is not limited to classroom settings. It can happen at any circumstances with functions of healing people and demanding social justice. Aa educators, we should encouraged our students perform their roles as writers which will make our society become better.

Schools set boundaries for students' writing. Some works that meet the requirement are regarded as excellent, while the others are dismissed. What is the essence of writing? Is it functional? Schools plan to help students develop their writing skills but limit their potential. It is not the way to create good writers but good students.

This part reminds me of the book "pose, wobble, flow"by Antero Garcia and Cindy O'Donnell-Allen, which suggests the "pose" or role of teachers as culturally proactive teacher, who will "wobble" over uncertainties despite the frustration, the "flow" to the right direction.

There is no "disadvantaged" students, but the "disadvantaged narratives and mandates". It's unfair to define our students just based on test scores which should not be the only evaluation criterion of teaching skills. This article centered on students as independent and equal individuals with great potential to success.
