Podcast, Herbert and Brown Vs. Board of Education Summary

All three of these informative pieces discuss the issues of race found among classrooms and ways to solve them. The overall concise resolution tho this problem is to integrate the lower income (usually students of color) in with the upper class (usually white students) in order to have students who may be falling behind in the lower income communities have access and resources to the same ones that the upper class school systems have. This however poses the problem of bullying as talked about in the podcast. By students of the upper class schools picking on the students of lower class families or who are students of color. Herbert's article also discusses like in the podcast that the students of lower income and students of color would be exposed to the same teachers that have the same type and amount of credentials as other teachers in order to ensure an equal education. The Brown Vs. Board of Education uses the phrase "separate is not equal" which again touches upon the idea that the students in the lower income societies don't have equal opportunities when it comes to education when being compared to an upper class white school. Personally, I think that furthering the integration of schools overall would be a good thing and would lead to a more equal community that we all live in.

  1. I love the idea of putting lower income students into schools of the higher income communities. They would have better support than they would have at the other school.

  3. I really like your idea of mixing lower and high incomes communities, I think that the students would benefit from each other and that it would make a stronger community.
