A hot topic lately, I have noticed in many of my education classes and also in the news, is segregation in schools and communities. In my Orientation to Philosophical Education class, it was noticed that many of us students are from varied communities, urban and suburban. Many from the urban schools feel as though they are segregated due to the fact that they have higher rates of drop-outs and failures on state tests and that they are being left in the dark when it comes to being educated and having a chance to a successful life.
Do segregated communities lead to poor schools? I am not sure if I agree or disagree. It all depends on how you define it. Some students in urban schools that are not your “typical” good schools, are actually well educated and get good grades due to the fact that they are determined to better their lives and their surroundings. But on the other hand, there are those students who find no solution to their current status and find an answer to gangs, working random, dead-end jobs, or dropping out due to the fact that they “cannot” get good grades. So I feel it does actually determine on the student we are talking about individually and not the actual school as a whole.
I do feel however, that segregation is an important topic. Who has the right to say that just because you go to a poor school, means that you can be a success? Who has the right to say you can’t go to this school because you are not white? These are questions that, to me, don’t make sense due to the fact that I was raised in a way that all are equal. I am not understanding to the fact that people are racist or prefer segregation. What kind of world would that be if we did not leave that “bird of a feather” theory behind us and become a mixed and unified country?
A perfect example of segregation is the United States of America in 1966 and before that when many white Americans owned slaves. Which is another topic I feel is important, how could you possibly “own” someone? But in 1966, there was a boycott, the Seattle School Boycott of 1966. One boycott that I have never heard is when in 1966, for two days, kindergarten to twelfth-grade students poured out of Seattle’s public schools and attended “freedom schools.” This was done in order to protest racial segregation in the Seattle school system.
Segregation was not just a problem in Seattle at the time, but throughout America. Seattle’s segregation problem is just one example to help one understand what was happening throughout our country at the time. Segregated schooling was part of a much larger succession of segregation, and it continued segregation in employment, housing, and in the every day lives of these students’. These schools had less funding, less parent involvement, less experienced teachers, lower test scores, and lower graduation rates (Clark, paragraph 5).
The protestors decided to protest, or begin the boycott, on March 31, 1966 and extended to April 1, 1966. The chairman of the Boycott Committee, Rev. Dr. John Adams, estimated that 3,000 students participated in the “freedom schools” that were held instead of attending regularly scheduled class. The students attending these “freedom schools” put in a full day from 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. and once they were there, they were not allowed to leave (Clark, paragraph 32). Some white students that attended the freedom schools. For them it was the first time that they had gone to school with African Americans and other “non-white” Americans.
These protests, attending “freedom schools,” seems to be the best protest I have yet to hear of. Instead of committing violent attacks until they got their way, the protestors just attended “freedom schools” which they had created. These were schools that did not turn away any one due to their ethnicity. So many students attended, that it was overflowing.
I completely agree with the actions that the protestors had acted upon. What better way to protest against segregation than to actually integrate everyone yourself? Creating “freedom schools” where you can still learn the material needed and also fight for your beliefs seems ingenious for this cause.
Coming from an integrated generation, where most of the time whites are not the prominent race in a crowd, I feel as though I would have been part of the protestors and attended the “freedom schools.” I am a firm believer that sticking with only “your kind” is being ignorant and that you need to live life open-minded and continually learn different customs of others. It spices up life and allows personal growth.
I feel as though segregation in schools today is an important topic partly because of the higher rate of city schools doing badly and having adapted the No Child Left Behind Act. I know this is not the last of hearing about this topic. It is something that has affected our nation’s history and is now coming back into play.

College Questions (Reaction 2)
Can I just say “WOW?” This video is what I have wrestled with since before I even applied to college. I knew I wanted to go, but of course there are also those doubts. The doubts I say, “Is where the weakness sets in.” I overcame those doubts by pushing forward, following my dreams, and knowing what is best for me and my future family.
I love that the description box, “About This Video,” says, “It’s something that’s been on my mind lately.” Hasn’t all those questions been in anyone’s mind, not only those whom go or went to college, but those that contemplated going, or even questioned about their own personal lives?
It’s powerful to me, due to the fact that I had all those unanswered questions. I wish I stumbled upon this video the day before college. Maybe it could have helped me. Or it could have even possibly let the weakness set back in. But as I look at it now, now that I have completed half of my first semester, I feel as though those questions have left my train of thought. They almost, in a way, were answered subconsciously in my mind throughout the past three months. I don’t know how or why, but I am glad that they were answered, leaving me more time to focus instead of contemplating.
A reaction to this video is easy, yet strangely and unexpectedly hard. I find it hard to explain how I feel about this short video, yet I feel relieved and at ease discussing it. I really found the music to contradict, in a way, what was being written on the papers. The music is so easy, relaxing, and fine with how things are, yet the questions are serious, well-thought out, and the writer seems to feel uneasy about them.
I wonder what her answers would be to all those questions or if she would even ever come up with the answers? I guess for her time will only tell, but luckily for me I have extraordinarily and unknowingly found the answers.

The Vision of Students Today (Reaction 1)
Empty seats that are reserved for those students whom have paid, laptops bought for school, yet used for commenting pictures for last nights’ party during class instead, and assignments that many students just blow off or simply and illegally copy and paste. This was an eye opener in one way and old news in another. I am aware of all these incidents that happen each and everyday, for I see it with my own eyes in each of my six classes here at Montclair State University. The opening quote from Marshall McLuhan, “Today’s child is bewildered when he enters the 19th century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and structured by fragmented, classified patterns subjects, and schedules.” Sound like what you experienced in your first day of college? I know I did, and this was said in 1967, forty years ago…guess not much has changed, but technology has.
One thing that is starting to be discussed is how students are consumed with technology. The new iPod, iPhone, laptop, or smartphone seems to be in every teenagers’ hand while walking to class or even in the nearest mall. Can Technology be introduced into the classroom to help capture student’s attention such as mine? I believe so, but it needs to be done intelligently and closely monitored.
I was sort of shocked watching this You Tube short video. I was like, “Wow, this is what students are doing…while they waste their parent’s money on education. Instead of listening and taking notes, they go on Facebook or Myspace. Money going to their kids surfing the web instead of education? How wasteful!” Then I realized, every one of my classes I see multiple students do the same exact thing! Something I find repulsive due to the fact that I want to do well and take class very seriously. My parents spend a lot of money in order for me to be here and I am grateful for that. No loans to pay back, just a clean slate when I graduate. How amazing is that.
This video makes me know that I am doing the right thing. I refuse to be sucked into the idiotic way some students think. I know I will come out on top and know what is due the next class. I know I am privileged to be here, in college, and that it’s not a right.
But I do feel for those students who are lost in this technological state we are in at the moment, “technology can save us.” It can enhance our classes and spruce lessons up, keeping those eyes off the web and back on the blackboard.

Academic Internship Opportunities in Washington, D.C. (Event 1)
On October 22, 2007, I attended the information session for the Academic Internship Opportunities in Washington, D.C in Cohen Lounge. Although I am an Education major, and this would be a great opportunity more for a history major or political science/law major, my eye was caught by the paper advertisement due to the fact that I find Washington, D.C. a remarkable city.
The lady that I had listened to, explained how the internship worked, being a previous intern, the young woman was very informative. I had heard about the internship a while back when my friend, Beata, who is a junior at Monmouth University, was going to go to do this internship (now she is going to go to Argentina for a semester abroad instead).
Being housed in a two bedroom apartment with four other interns seems like a great experience and a lot of fun. She did say it was a great time, but “not going to lie about how hard and how much the work and homework you get is.” I know I wouldn’t do this particular internship just because it wouldn’t help me with education, and it would probably actually holds me up on my major.
But attending this event opened my mind about possibly studying abroad for a semester. It would be a great experience and I am aware that everyone that does it has only great things to say about it. But I am reluctant to do so, once I get adjusted better to college life, then I may consider it more.
I am happy I attended this event because it opened my eyes to all the opportunities that come along with college. Who knows, maybe if another internship comes along that better suits me I may take advantage.

Panel of Discussion (Event 2)
One of my events that I had gone to was in University Hall when I was at a panel discussion. When I first entered the room I was confused to what was going on. The panel didn’t introduce the topic we were going to be discussing. It seems that the panel all had different things to say. The discussants really didn’t make an impact on me because I really didn’t feel any thing that interested me. It seems that the panel didn’t make an effort to relate to the audience.
The experience enlightened me to things that I have never been exposed to before. In high school most issues are kept under the rug because of school policies, in college everything is out in the open. I am a proud person and hate when someone is opposing my ideas or my beliefs. My general reaction to the discussion was utter shock because I couldn’t believe how people would display such hate. My general reaction to the two points that had the most impact on me is freedom of speech. You have to be careful when speaking around others because they can quote you on what you say. This experience has taught me that I have to try to not let personal feelings get in the way of me receiving knowledge.
Each of the panelists’ demonstrated different traits. Some took on the role of leading the conversation and some took on the role of speaking out against what they thought was wrong. Students who spoke when the panel asked questions acted as leaders. They showed courage because they expressed their views in front of everyone. People showed openness which people seldom show because they are scared of being ridiculed or judged by others.
Although I was not a huge fan of the panel discussion, it was a good experience all in all. I mean, it opened my eyes and makes me hope that if I were to be on a panel, I could think as swift and quick as them, while still making sense of what I am trying to say.

Second Life Journal ! !
Second Life has been, so far, an interesting experience.
First off, the first time in class that we started Second Life, my computer kept freezing. So I never got on to see it how everyone else did.
I put it on my computer (downloaded and all), and it FROZE AGAIN ! ! !
So I went to Dr. Wilson's lab hours on Thursday before my Writing class, and I tried it in the lab again, and it froze! So we went to his office and....Second Life did not work! We had to re-download it and then finally i was able to go on it for a few minutes. During the time it took to download, Dr. Wilson and I had a good talk.
Dr. Wilson is easy to talk to about ANYTHING you have concerns about, and listens no matter what you have to say.
Hope Second Life starts working for me, and I hope it doesn't affect my grade since I have been trying and trying, it just doesn't seem to want to work for me....how about for you?
