Blog #5: exteded comment

I would like to connect to olivia's blog post because I agree with her saying that the author mentions how students who get in trouble more are considered as “bad students”, but in reality they are just more expressive and not every student has an easy time focusing for long periods of time. I know many kids are being punished for being forced to always listen to the teacher because they are the adult in the room and if they don’t listen then they get sent to the office or in some sort of time out. I remember in school when we had to read for about an hour and their was this one boy who couldn’t focus on reading so my teacher got sick and tired of dealing with him and sent him to read in another classroom by himself. I never thought much about it until I actually spoke with him and he mentioned how he hated going to another classroom while everyone else got to read together. It made me feel bad because instead of speaking with him and giving him a chance the teacher chose to place him somewhere else for the rest of the semester instead of giving him another chance. I also agree when olivia mentioned that the school is the one that fails the students because I still believe that some schools don’t allow much freedom for the students to be able to stay engaged and that is possibly why kids cant focus. Some school policies don’t allow students to be able to express their ideas and instead label these kids as bad students for not following the school guidelines, but in reality the school education system should change to help these kids want to learn instead of feeling forced to learn and listen.

Question: Do you think that students who can't be handled is because of the teacher or the schools learning system?

Reading “Aria” the author stated, “But my father was not shy, I realized, when I'd watch him speaking Spanish with relatives. Using Spanish, he was quickly effusive. Especially when talking with other men, his voice would spark and flicker. Rare was alive with sounds. In Spanish, he expressed ideas and feelings he rarely revealed in English. With firm Spanish sounds, he conveyed confidence and authority English would never allow him.”. It makes me angry that the nuns in her school came into their house to speak with her parents because they thought she wasn’t doing a good job speaking English just because she speaks Spanish with her parents. At first yes it was a great idea because her parents wanted what was best for their children and they helped by changing to speaking English. However, I know for a fact that not every Hispanic or Spanish-speaking family has an easy life. I know personally my dad went through a lot to try and give me a better future and he works in construction...

I have really enjoyed being part of FNED 246 with my professor because it gave me more knowledge about how to be a better role model for my future students. Reading Aria shows me how to use my second language to help students feel welcomed and confident in who they are. I would want my students to know that they should feel safe speaking in their native language because nothing is wrong with being a little different. In a classroom I wouldn’t want my students to feel discouraged or separated from their peers who speak only english. I would encourage my students to work together regardless of a language barrier. There is always another way to help bilingual students feel welcomed and learn ways to understand and help one another. A video that stood out to me is “Precious Knowledge” because I never knew that ethnic studies were banned. It honestly scared me to see that society doesn’t want students to learn their real culture and instead be americanized. It truly broke my hea...

Growing up I always went to public or charter schools, so my classmates would always be hispanic, black, etc.. I never felt alone because I always shared a connection somehow with each student because of our cultural background. My teachers would sometimes be white, but I never paid attention because they were always so nice and understood their students. However, when I came to my first year in college at URI my perspective quickly changed about how the education environment made me feel. I went to all my classes and most of the time I was the only hispanic girl in my class apart from all the white students. I never felt comfortable talking to my white professor because I...
