Reflection 4

AFRICENTRIC PLAN SPARKS CONCERNAfter you read us the article, I truly thought about how the black people would respond to how some of the white and asian parents responded. By saying the school would be less safe, I think more racism is involved towards the black people. By giving this reason, I think they further the argument and cause even more commotion. I feel this way because I think I have an idea on what some of these parents mean when they say less safe. I have notified of many bad neighborhoods and have even been in one where I have been mugged once. The people that mugged me were black. I don't want this to turn into a racist comment itself so I'll end it here.

Teaching in the 21st century
What really stood out for me or stood out at all was how at the start, they compared our education to that of other countries. To be honest the rest did not really interest me. Anyway I like the idea of how countries compare themselves to other countries to see what they can do better. Competition is a good thing in my eyes. You see what other people can do and do better to keep up with that person. With this, I think education is ever so growing. With this motivation to keep going, you think of new ways, faster ways, ways to get better. By doing all this you really enhance whatever it is you are competing against and it favors everyone! This also kind of reminds me of the Flat Classroom Projects. New ways made to enhance learning and really helping students like this are already being done.
