Dawne Lori Jezik shared her incredible story. Dawne is part of the Adult Children.org. Dawne is 50-year-old woman. Dawne stated that she has three kids. Dawne comes from a dysfunctional family. She grew up in a violent home setting. Dawne was an A student, honor roll and very smart. Dawne got pregnant with her first kid at the age of 16 years old. Her story really impacted and shocked me. It was really sad when she stated that her family from her mother side is literally “crazy”.

Katie Hendrickson 's “Student Resistance to Schooling: Disconnections With Education in Rural Appalachia” is a scholarly article within The High School Journal, a publication for those employed in a secondary educational facility. Being founded in 1918, it is one of the oldest peer-reviewed academic journals in education. The journal is managed by students and faculty in the School of Education at Chapel Hill and is published quarterly by the University of North Carolina Press – it 's both a current and scholarly resource. Hendrickson has quite a storied history in the teaching field as well, giving credence to her article. She has been published in another peer-reviewed academic journal, Education in a Democracy, as well as presented her finding on co-teaching at the Ohio Confederation of Teacher Education Organizations conferences. But the list of accolades doesn 't end there: she was awarded the Mabel Olson Bell Award for Outstanding Mentor Teachers from the Patton College of Education at Ohio University, in addition to awards for STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics, and Engineering) teaching. Hendrickson, along with two of her colleagues, accepted the Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence in STEM Education in 2013, and in 2012, she received a Global Teacher Fellowship from the Rural School and Community Trust. This gave her the opportunity to travel and create place-based lessons for classrooms drawing from her experience,

This source was taken from the New York Post, which is a daily newspaper that is predominant to mainly New York City and its suburbs. The New York Post has been running for over 200 years and is one of the most circulated newspapers in the country. It remains to be a mode of news and information for many citizens.

In Adele Lowitz’s memoir, Adele Lowitz: the Lawyer with a Choice she perfectly outlines the consternation of someone in the high position that she once held just a few years ago. Adele served at the head lawyer on one of the most publicised, overt and important and funny law cases in American history. This case which was entitled “SNL vs. the President” was fought between the executive producer of the popular TV show Saturday Night Live and the President of the United States over a joke made on air that was particularly offensive to the leader of the free world. Although it may seem like a non important case in American history, it was actually a turning point in the ability of the media and the power that the government holds. Adele was a powerful lawyer before the case. She graduated at the top of her law school class and was immediately hired by one of the biggest law firms in America. Her younger brother of three years on the other hand was a comedian. He had become an incredibly famous comedian, taking over the Late Night Show For Jimmy Kimmel. Luckily for Adele, her brother had never been on Saturday night

Wendy Kopp, member of Princeton’s graduating class of 1989, and founder of “Teach for America” fulfills Princeton’s motto “Princeton in the Nation’s service and in the service of humanity.” through the creation of the organization “Teach For America” and being the Co-Founder of “Teach For All.” The overall goal of these organizations is to ensure that children are able to attain their true potential despite inequality in the education system based on birth place.

So, for her senior thesis she proposed that they should assign graduates from the nation’s top universities to teach in disadvantaged communities. Wendy used her senior thesis to move to an office space in New York and gather teacher corps. Gathering enough support, Wendy eventually grew her organization and called it Teach For America. Today, Teach For America is helping many

What I learned from Laura Bobnaks essay was the way we think in high school is extremely different from what we think when we are adults. In high school, it’s all about doing everything we can to get out of there whether its cheating or studying. It doesn’t matter because in high school no one like a tattle tale or a rat.

I participate in a tutoring program for elementary students in Dorchester, an underserved community in Boston. Working with the children has helped me eliminate preconceived ideas that led me to believe schools were bad because the parents did not pay enough attention to their children's educations. I now realize that the problems in education have more to do with the amount of funding that goes into certain schools. Ignorance and distance from reality caused me to believe that struggling neighborhoods inherently produce bad students. I now understand that the problems within the school do not reflect the students’ abilities.

Schools can’t solve the problem alone,” and” without local initiative, reformers cannot succeed.” The neighborhood is where the children grow up, so some of the small level programs depend on local promote. Third, do not ignore the stupendous gap of income. The achievement gap begins when children are young because some of them have had better medical care and have memorized more vocabulary than others because of highly educational parents. According to what Sean Reardon found, the income achievement gap is growing, and it is two times larger than black-white achievement. Therefore, to mend the schools, to act in concert with local, and not to neglect the large income achievement gap are the points that Diane Ravitch

For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these

I chose the text I did because it seemed like a fun way to demonstrate understanding and continue the story into the daily lives of the Mitty family. The speaker in this text is Mrs. Mitty through notes left for Walter or things he’s written down to not forget what she said. This demonstrates my knowledge of the text by my writing following the character of Mrs. Mitty. It displays my overall knowledge because of it’s similarity to Mrs. Mitty’s character. I first felt that I wanted to create a text for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty because out of all the texts this one was the one I found most interesting. I chose to write further because I thought it would be interesting to write more about their personal lives. This format allows me to write in a slightly comedic fashion about Mrs. Mitty and

In the film ‘Her’, directed by Spike Jonze, the main protagonist,Theodore Twombly conveys the idea of alienation via technology and its possible effects, due to his depression via his divorce and his easy going relationship with an artificial intelligence operating system named Samantha. The idea of alienation and technology and its possible effects on human relationships is conveyed via the quote, “Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.” Theodore recently experienced is his divorce depression, and therefore becomes vulnerable, anti-social from society and isolated himself, by spending time with the artificial intelligence

Statements that make it clear - “Jeez, what’s wrong with her?” This is a prime example of humor in the form of irony. One would expect that since the child is adhering to all the demands of her parents that the parents would think nothing is wrong with her, but in this case her mother evidently thinks the opposite. This points out the fault that the parents should to be satisfied if their child is doing everything they tell her to do. This example is funny because it is very silly for a child to meet all the demands of her parents and be called a “little pushover” and “pathetic”. Using humor rather than just stating that some parents are never satisfied with their children exemplifies how absurd the parents are when they are not satisfied even
