Do I have the full picture?

 Do I have the full picture? I agree with the point that there is a teacher education gap. For this reason it is even more important that as teachers we should be knowledgeable about our history in order to prevent ourselves from being dysconsciously racist in our classrooms. Being dysconsciously racist means believing that racial injustices and white privilege's are justified and okay. Something else we need to look out for as future teachers is not to be micro aggressive, especially towards marginalized students.

Schools Purpose

  What is the Purpose of Schools? The purpose of school is to teach students a variety of new information in hopes to prepare them for the following grade. This is a system that continues until graduation, and may follow into college in order to help students get the required tools (like a diploma) to be work in their favorite careers. Even though the main purpose of school is to learn, do work, and complete homework there are many other reasons we go to school. For example, going to school gives students the opportunity to socialize and meet other kids of different cultures. This helps the students be aware of the diversity around the world and learn about how their classmates may be different to them. This might even help strengthen their own identity and understand themselves on a deeper level. School also gives students the opportunity to be creative and learn knew ways to communicate/process information.     Who Are Marginalized Students A nd What Do They Need from S...
