Perhaps positive school culture was another area I presumed as a given. When referencing the ELCC standard 2.0 I feel confident in my contributions and leadership skills developed throughout my tenure at York Suburban and refined through this internship experience.

East St. Louis is one of the worst ghettos in Illinois, and Kozol goes into great detail about the multitude of problems facing the city and more importantly, the school children living there. The economy is too weak to pay for any type of necessity for the schools. Therefore, the school system is compromised. There is absolutely no money for proper
