"The Problem We All Live With"
In this podcast, the speakers talked about the idea of integrated schools, and how beneficial that they are to students. While thinking about what this podcast was talking about, I wanted to see what my classmates were thinking about this topic. I read over Emily's blog to see what her thoughts on this subject were, and many interesting points were brought up. The thought that really resonated with me was at the end of her post, saying that "The kids that are doing better in school can really influence students who have worse grades." This really does make so much sense. In my high school, it seemed like a lot of the times, education and grades were seen more as competition between students, rather than a focus on helping everyone succeed. And me being not the best student in every class seemed distant from others. However, it was enjoyable when my friends that were far more academically gifted than myself helped me out and made me a better student.

ReplyDeleteChristian,
ReplyDeleteYour question is very interesting. I think this is a question most people don't think about, but it is still very important to consider. Great job!
I love how you connected your blog with Emily's as well as the points you've made like how receiving better grades than your classmates is more like a competition rather than an influence. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Christian. I think integration of schools would lead to greater success overall. I like how you incorporated your own high school experience and I think you did a great job incorporating the key points. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good question. It seemed like from listening to the The Problem We All live With, is that one problem is that integration isn't really considered anymore. Another problem that was mentioned is the difficulty of getting students up really early to get on a bus and travel long distances. Also the students being bused may not be welcomed in the "better schools". I hope that wouldn't be the case , but that was mentioned in the article.
ReplyDeleteI think your question ties in well with the article and gives a good follow up to add to the discussion
ReplyDeleteChristian, I liked how you connected your blog with Emily's because I enjoyed reading both. I like how you talked about your experience with having friends who were better in a certain class and they were able to help you, my friends did the same for each other.
