When the “Freedom of Choice Act” gave them an opportunity to put their children into white schools, at the time the better schools, Mae Bertha and Matthew immediately decided that their children would attend all white schools in the following school year.

  • Disproportionality In Special Education Essay

    774 Words  | 2 Pages

    A longstanding national issue that continues to concern the public is the disproportionate representation of children from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds in special education. The fact is that the proportion of minority students in the population of school-age children has risen dramatically to over 35%, which is increasing the diversity of students in many public schools throughout the nation. This makes the phenomenon of disproportionality especially troubling. With a growing population of minority children comprising a greater percentage of public school students, we must be responsive to the growing needs of an increasingly diverse society. The overrepresentation of minority students in special education has been posed as an issue for more than 3 decades, but it is worth asking whether the efforts of legislative actions, educational reforms and legal challenges have really made improvements to this issue. More importantly, disproportionality should be examined as a correlation to underlying conditions that can pose a great effect upon not only the quality of a child’s education, but also ______.

  • Movie Reflection Paper

    872 Words  | 2 Pages

    Another powerful video, Including Samuel, ignited my insight in this week’s class. As I heard in the video, “inclusion is an easy thing to do poorly.” The movie chronicles the life of a young boy, Samuel, and his family. With the shock of learning about their son’s disability, it caused his parents, Dan and Betsy, to experience the unexpected. Nevertheless, they did everything to include their son and help him live a normal life focused on his capabilities, rather than his incapabilities. I even admired how his friends knew so much about him, his likes and dislikes, his strengths and his weaknesses.

  • Analysis Of Elliott's White Veneer Advertisement

    778 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this era, whites disfavored against blacks due to skin color, for this reason African Americans endured mistreatment and misunderstanding. This primarily affected African American children because their education system was different from the white children. Negro schools had many restrictions such as reading and were rejected to enter the libraries of the white community. Based on the attention to this advertisement through the view of the race, I read that African American children were falsely described in the 1930’s due to the lack of a proper educational system and they were not socially equal. Education affected the child’s self-esteem and self-worth “Education of the Negro Child” about sixty-five percent of African American children lived life classified as retarded. Those children had trouble developing self-esteem and self-worth due to the society around them, seeing their flaws in intelligence due to the lack of being uneducated.(Anna Lucille Green
