I imagine a world where people respect  each other enough not to say hurtful things and actually thinking about what they say and about others.

California Students Protest Education Cuts

Teacher interview

For my teacher interview I asked my friend/ teacher Mrs. Real, a substitute teacher at la sierra academy. I asked her for her point of view on what she thought about schools and if they are preparing students for their future, I asked what Mrs. Real thought about money spending in schools, and if testing for placement in classes are really working. What she thought about the schools preparing for the future is that no, schools do not prepare people for their future. Schools need to show a bit more about thing that deal with the world and not just in books and things of the past but thing that are going on now. For the question on if the government uses the funds for schools wisely  she said she said that they do not use the money in the right way that they should spend it on more teachers and rooms that way class rooms can have less students per teacher and more attention. And lastly for placement test Mrs. Real said that they are helpful but she believes they do not act on what the statistics say. If they need to improve English or math they should get more help on those specific subject.

Reflection SB 1070 discussion

 On Wednesdays discussion i felt as if our class was way more prepared. Like last time a lot of us had nothing to say, but the few that were prepared brought up strong points. One of the points that really amazed me is the re-election of Jan Brewer and how the other candidate is even less liked by the state of Arizona. There were a lot of misunderstandings in the discussion though. For example, when the topic of health care came up some said because they are illegal immigrant they do not deserve the benefits just because they are illegal, and that if they brought of family which had nothing to do. What if someone in the class had a family member that was illegal they would surely choose their loved one over that persons loved one. Many other things of that sort came up that in my opinion had nothing to do when relating family and things of that sort. but as a whole it was a discussion done well.
