Schools in the Bay Area and schools mentioned in the book
have many similarities, except with the exclusion that the schools mentioned in
the book have a far worse problem that accumulates to their School environment.
Some Schools in the Bay Area have low graduation rates. Not only does this
happen here in our area but in many other places around America. In
Mississippi, a school by the name of East St. Louis is in high needs of a
better School for their children. Due to its bad environment and the squeezing
of numerous children in one classroom, not all students finish their education.
Some may not make it to graduate from the lack of learning due to the lack of
attention being paid to them, because not every teacher can get around to one
hundred students in one day. Sometimes even students may drop out and miss on a
graduation because they need to get a job in order to help support their
families financially, and in the case of East St. Louis, that is what some
students had to do.
Our schools also suffer from not receiving funds. Funds which they deserve and need to get through a daily basis of teaching and learning. There are Elementary teachers who cannot get the right tools and materials for their classes because of the lack of money and support that they receive from the government and the school board. Another problem is School size increasing. Classrooms can fit many students, however there is a limit when there is only one teacher taking on a big number of them. The most number of students in a class per teacher is, I think, around 30-40 students. It takes a lot of work and dedication with just the minimum, but with schools like East St. Louis that does not matter. Students are squished into classrooms to learn and teachers are stuck with them without a say, because they know they’re the student’s only hope to getting through an education under any circumstance. In this case, children living on this side of Mississippi cannot go anywhere else for school due to transportation issues or being financially unstable. That is why they stick to what they have and make do with it.
The information that I found relates to my focus very well. My focus is on school resources. I feel that school resources are very important and sadly enough there are schools that don’t have enough funds or resources to provide the school materials needed on a day-to-day basis. The information I found elates to my paper focus in all and many ways. School resources are a big part of learning. They help you understand and learn things better by using them or seeing them. And example can be for kindergartners, how will they learn the colors without having crayons to test them out, the colors, and seeing what they really look like to visualize them.
