Richard Rodriguez Reflection: I connect to the is article because the idea that the language I grew up learning meant nothing to people confused me. As a Spanish speaking woman that was born in the Dominican Republic and came to the United States at age of 7, I came to America with a fear that I wouldn’t be able to catch up to the other students or being made fun of because of the language barrier. For example in the article it states “ Because I wrongly imagined that English was intrinsically a public language and Spanish was an intrinsically private one, I easily noted the difference between the classroom language and the language at home”. The hardest part was leaning a new language but also remembering the old one. I remember being home while my mom told me to speak only Spanish at home so I wouldnt disconnect from my culture but once I stepped foot outside my house I new I had to speak English. It sometimes felt like i was living a different live at school then at home. ...

Finn Literacy with an Attitude Reflection: In the article Finn expresses how poor class students received functional literacy that promotes compliance while students from privileged backgrounds were taught above average and powerful literacy that promotes power and independence. It is connected to my opinion on education equality which is that I believe everyone should have the chance to receive above average education from educators that are extremely capable of providing powerful literacy and support. “The struggle for justice and equality requires empowering education and powerful literacy”.Some students these days no longer care about learning and having the opportunity to have a better future but it is not entirely their fault. The educational system right now is not in support of all children take for example the school to prison pipeline.There is an actual system built to make students fail especially students of color. This article is a reminder that eduactional equality...

How structural racism works Reflection: In the video she contracts two term and unites them within one category  The video starts explaining about the idea of Structural racism being a systems that people make and are used to discriminate against others because of their race.  (Una organization or protesta people can start to discriminarte por cualquier razor asi sea por tu racé ) She goes on talks about the idea of “color blind” basically not wanting to pay attention to anything that promotes any program, organization or idea of racism The idea of colorblind ideology focuses on the belief that race no longer matters and “I don’t see color”. Structural racism continues to separate communities of color from access to better opportunities and progress by making it difficult for people of color to secure quality education, jobs, healthcare, and equal treatment in the criminal justice system. It fosters discrimination that provides limitation in the ability to access power. there ...

  FNED 246 – Fall 2023 TEACH US ALL QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER NOTES ON THE FILM According to this film, how has the INSTITUTION  (of school, of government, of community) FAILED to educate all kids equally? Segregation  The school system failed in ensuring that the schools got the resources they needed to succeed but in fact what was happening is they were getting pushed out of the school system. Minority schools have two thirds of their teachers that have old certification and licensing requirements. predominantly minority schools have 15% larger classes than predominantly white schools. According to this film, how has the CHANGE/PROGRESS happened?  Who has worked to make schools more equitable and how? In 1957 a group og black students in Little Rock Arkansas took a courageous stand for educational equality. Where do you see Johnson and privilege begin given to some but not others ?   I see privilege everywhere but one specific part of the film that caught...

Intersectionality Can't Wait As a Hispanic woman I relate to this topic. Ever since I was in high school, I wondered if I could apply for college without worrying about being as good as the students that weren't Hispanic or weren't women. I felt like I had to work 3x as hard as others because no matter how hard I tried my efforts weren't seen as enough. The educational system is not on the side of justice when it comes to minorities, we are not given the chance to rise above oppressors and share our voice without being discriminated or excluded. When I was little my mom always told me that I can be whatever I want when I grow up but as time passed I realized that its not true, I don't have the luxury to make the same mistakes as white kids. Being raised in a Dominican household my parents always reminded me that they moved to the united stated in order for me to have a better life than they had but what they weren't aware that just because they wanted me t...
