I am totally cool with you guys and gals writing on whatever tickles your fancy. But for those of you who need a little food for thought, I want you to think about the right to education, both secondary and post-secondary. Furthermore, do all people have a right to a quality education taught by qualified teachers? How do urban inner city schools deal with this when they have no money to pay good teachers and low test scores?
You assignment to create a new post on your blog by Sunday night. Additionally, I want you to go to the blogs of two of your classmates and respond to their's as well as "following" their blogs. I will have a class list on my blog tomorrow.
Cheers
There is a major problem with our educational system. The idea is that we have a public education system and everyone has a right to an education. But the reality is that is not the case. Budget cutbacks have caused some serious issues in the inner cities. My example is the East Side San Jose School District compared to the Cupertino School District. East Side has suffered major cutbacks that has increased class sizes due to teachers being pink slipped. The Cupertino teachers also received pink slips but there is a vast difference. The Cupertino community because it is affluent raised within 2 weeks close to I believe it was 2 million dollars. They were able to save there teachers jobs and support there extracurricular programs. The community of Alum Rock was not able to do the same due to it is a low income area. This is a real problem among our schools that social economic issues determine the quality of education you receive.
