Mr. Grove did not have a specific student in mind, so I arrived yesterday to observe the students and determine which student used their cell phone the most. One student in particular had their phone out six times during the lecture period. For the sake of privacy, I will be identifying this student by her initials “CG.” Since this student uses her phone for short periods

The observation occurred on May 10th, 2018 @ 2:00 P.M. in the senior preschool classroom. Upon arriving to the child development center a few minutes early than the start time, I noticed the parking lot is small--assuming it can fit up to 15 cars in the lot. However, it was sufficient, since I was able to get parking with ease. As I walked through the entrance door and went inside the building, I approached the receptionist table.

"Tasnim, can you please stay after class? I need to talk to you." I let go of the door handle and whip my head back to face my third grade teacher Mrs. Russell. She said my name correctly for the first time all year, though her voice was stern. I realize that my jaw has dropped by the expression on her face as she peers over her laptop. As I walk slowly towards her, my classmates whisper, "Ooh she's in trouble" as they sprint out the door for recess. I stand near my teacher's desk waiting for all the students to leave and when the room is silent, Mrs. Russell says,

When I arrived at P.S. 206 for my first day of the 4th grade on September 2nd, 2008, I was not fluent in English and a complete stranger. Since I went to a modest religious school in an insignificant town in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, I was only used to interacting with a small number of students and teachers each day. Not surprisingly, I clutched my lunch bag with anxiety to protect myself from the never ending crowd of boisterous children in the lobby of my new school. Needless to say, I was frightened and incapable of speaking up when asked where I was supposed to be. Fortunately, a teacher came up and attempted to engage me a conversation; however, my face was full of confusion. Despite her generous assistance, my day was filled with anxiety from my bizarre surroundings. My basic abilities had suddenly been torn away from me.

I snuck a quick scan of the classroom. No one was watching. I flipped the paper over again. After stealing another glance at the teacher, I flipped it one last time, completing the ritual twelve times. I could feel my hands shaking out of fear that a friend would notice my behavior. I was safe, for now. But my fear continued throughout the day. My eyes watched the clock tick to eleven, the time of day that always sent panic coursing through my bones. My responsibility for the week was to be the caboose of the line, meaning I had to close the classroom door. This task petrified my eight-year-old self because I viewed the door as a contaminated reservoir for germs. I lagged behind, peered around the corner ensuring my classmates were gone, and

I was invited to participate in the process, and I accepted the invitation. When I entered the space where the interviews were being held, there were five adult interviewers. I answered many standard interview questions but then was asked to rate my classroom behavior on a scale from one to three—three, being the best, and one, the worst. Unflinchingly, I gave myself a “three” because I knew I was well behaved. Then, they confronted me and told me I was “more of a two.” I replied, “No, I am a three.”

I can still clearly remember the second day when I arrived in the United States. I started to attend a public high school. During my pre-calculus class, suddenly, the speaker broadcasted something like “Code blue, this is not a warning. Teachers need to lock the door, and students please move away from the windows”.
