I began to notice the teacher trying to steer me in a direction where I wouldn't excel. We were able to work at our own progress. If I went further than any other student in the lessons, she would tell me to wait for the other students. I was also bussed to a new school almost every year that was on the opposite side of town. <BR/><BR/>I went to catholic school. My elementary school was majority black students. My high school was all girls. That is where I think I missed out, but just on the socialization aspect. We had dances, but we were responsible for recruiting male attendance.Nexgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385497972650466165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-47677921321309029252007-07-04T02:52:00.000-04:002007-07-04T02:52:00.000-04:00@ ng.1.

The objective was to <I>equally distribute resources</I> to educate all. What the visionaries of that movement were not aware of was that American's would make a choice to trump progress of any poor people. <BR/><BR/>In a society that likened nothing like what we now know, nothing would have suggest 50 years ago that government would say: Great, let's leave all the workers children behind (no need to teach any blacks, whites, or others because they will never run our society).<BR/><BR/>I will also argue that the needs of schools to prepare children for a future life in a society - culturally, financially, and socially was not on the agenda. <BR/><BR/>When it comes to the 3r, we don't have issues what know what they are, we know you can learn them anywhere/anytime - the issue is if you can teach these topics to the whole person and that is the matter with integrated learning environments - they don't teach the whole child because they are not equip to handle culture, linguistic and social diversity.<BR/>Boys and girls are different.<BR/>Workers and owners are different.<BR/>Natives and immigrants are different. <BR/>If the way we live is different - once we admit that the way we learn is also different local communities wil start to take responsibility for educating their children, or perish...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-9353580074208789502007-07-03T10:48:00.000-04:002007-07-03T10:48:00.000-04:00anony #1 aka Matt,Hi.Its obvious that you are who ...anony #1 aka Matt,<BR/><BR/>Hi.<BR/><BR/>Its obvious that you are who you are because I am noid and I watch everything:)<BR/><BR/>If BLK power is about cycles, then what IS about to pop off now?<BR/><BR/>without the failure of school integration the incredible agency assumed by black folk in the black power movement could not have happened.<BR/>=============<BR/>Right.<BR/>But here is the rub.<BR/>Some schools failed.<BR/>SOME EDUCATED A WHOLE LOTTA TEACHERS, NURSES, BUS DRIVERS.<BR/>Some were segregated and fine.<BR/>What some Black and white people don't realize is that WE LIVED AND WE ATE PRIOR TO :<BR/>a.
