The story provided an excellent discussion of the many issues that surround race in schools, it centered on the topic about whether integrated schools were more beneficial than segregated schools. This book focuses on young children in the early grades, listening to parents and racial integration. The author wanted to find the truth that is surrounding multicultural classrooms from those that are involved in it. This book includes many side stories, which serve to explore the concepts, and displays them in a clear way; it also added depth to the book. This book was well written and shows all sides of multicultural education. It does not take one side in particular and it encourages people to explore multicultural education in a new light.

The 1920s was a hard and painstaking era in American history. Many family's throughout New York lived in absolute poverty and saved week to week just to make enough to eat and pay the rent.

The author of White Teacher is Vivian Gussin Paley. The book is about her experience of teaching her kindergarten class. She shares her experiences of teaching in a school with integrated classes in a time when racism was a major part of society in the outside world. Mrs. Paley’s main focus was to be the best teacher she could be to all of her students, but was not sure how to go about dealing with the racial differences in her classroom. She was told she should ignore the subject of race in the classroom and pay more attention to the behavior and success of her students. Mrs. Paley quickly realized that this was not the solution and that ignoring this subject did not help the students. It conveyed the wrong message to all of the students, even the white ones. Mrs. Paley started to bring the subject to her students and this also helped with her own struggles with racial stereotypes in and outside of the classroom environment. This book gives an inside look of the struggles that teachers face when trying to address the issues of race and it gives some insight on some of the solutions teachers can use to effectively deal with this very fragile subject.

There are a group of students from Woodrow Wilson Classical High School who were apart of the new integration plan following the L.A Riots in 1994.

White bread, something everyone from the poorest of the poor to the rich elite of this world eats is for breakfast lunch and dinner. This food item has been a staple in American’s lives from beginning of the settlement of this great nation. Aaron Bobrow-Strain in his book White Bread put it best when he wrote, “it has served as a touchstone for fears and aspirations of racial eugenicists, military strategists [and] social reformers” as a way to bridge the gap between most aspects of our lives (Bobrow-Strain p. ix). Bread has had the journey of being religiously important, a sign of class status and wealth, to finally its importance to health of soldiers and citizens of low income. This simple food item became an important part of our food

I want to address social inequalities in communities where access to fresh foods, and opportunities for civic engagement are limited. I would like to provide opportunities for children engage in local projects concerning their community. In addition I want to develop a program where teachers and mentors can come and share resources with each other through community interaction spaces. I am hoping to integrate a one of a kind place where community residents and local artists, begin enriching through teaching and providing a safe space where restorative action and leadership development can be nurtured. In a recent report published by the Bread Project in 2015, hunger rise has reached significant levels in communities of color and single parent

One of my responsibilities as the Chief Operating Officer of Perfect Pita restaurants is to facilitate yearly check-ups on all of our locations. As you know, Perfect Pita makes fresh and healthy pita sandwiches for hungry customers who want efficient service. As I was speaking to the manager of our Times Square, New York store, I realized the store foot traffic was drastically increasing but it seemed as if revenue on sales was only slightly increasing. Since spring is coming shortly and the weather continues to get warmer, more people start to go out for lunch to get fresh air and leave the office. This is a prime location being in the heart of NYC and we need to ensure our customer satisfaction is at its best. In my discussion with our store

The idea of morality emphasizes on making the distinction between right and wrong as well as the difference between good and bad behavior. Often times, the mass population is only aware of what is considered to be the “right/good” behavior depending on how the rest of society reacts to it. If the media, authorities, and professionals are all stating that one course of action is the right course of action, then the culture adapts to the claim and in order to be good citizens, the people react accordingly. In Bobrow-Strain’s book White Bread: A Social History of the Store-Bought Loaf, the author illuminates a brief history of the creation and transition over to factory-made white bread from homemade bread. Through the rise in population of store-bought white bread,

In 1987 there was a family in Virginia that was very weird . The family loved pumpkin bread. In the family there was a mom whose name was Annabelle ,a dad named Alex ,and two little girls named Ashley and Lucy.One night Annabelle was going to make the family’s favorite bread from scratch. The little girls had noticed that there mom had an evil look on her face when she cut the pumpkin.The mom had a look on her face that looked like she was going to kill someone. The little girls asked their mom why she looked at the pumpkin in that mean way. There mother just gave the an evil smirk and said “you’ll see.” The sisters didn’t think much of it because there mother was very mysterious and they were adapted to that. Later

Since I started this class, I have a learned a great deal about cultural diversity in the classroom and abroad. My perspective has changed slightly but my knowledge of this subject has improved. In my family, my father taught me about the civil rights movement and the evils of segregation in the U.S. My parents taught me to be tolerant of all humans, no matter what they look like, how they dress, or their sexual orientation. My family has always been liberal thinkers who taught me the dark history of racism and bigotry in this country. As an educator I would be accepting to all race, creeds, and religious peoples.

Over the course of the semester, there has been numerous amount of areas where I believe I have improved in comparison to high school. What has helped me in my writing is the writing class and the in-class writing workshop. The writing class that is located in the Kremen education building has helped me with my writing greatly because in the writing center the person in charge teach us lenses and we apply those lenses to the writing, draft, or reading that someone brings in. The in-class writing workshop has helped me because other students get to read my writing. This is helpful because I get feedback from many students and they let me know what needs to be fixed. A new tool I have been using is They Say I Say. The book is very helpful because of the information and examples it provides such as the templates. I have been applying the templates into my essays and I have seen a significant difference.

The best of people waits in the shadows, until it is time to come out into the light. I was always the shy kid in the back of class. I barely spoke to anyone that would approach, and I was so afraid of others judgment because of the kind of person I am. I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I do know quite a bit. After years of hiding in the darkness, afraid of the torment that others may bring, I finally came into the spotlight. I had found my new home and sanctuary, I had embraced my love for musical theatre.
