What I learn was that the past has always affect our present, the whole butterfly affect. Way back when segregation happen the students of color didn't get the same type of learning opportunity as the white student. Now we all get the same education, but now it cater to our age, If you are twelve, you get the same education as all the other twelve year olds out there. And no matter what you move on, even if your falling behind. Yes there are programs out there to assist you when your behind.
Another point I wanted to talk about is the medication they give to these kids, the video "RSA Animated: Changing Education Paradigms" talked little about this. How these doctors are giving these kids pills because of the rise of "ADHD" in kids. These pill constrict these kids of them selves, to bring out a "calmer self" which is not them at all. We should embrace who they are, to find ways to help them be who they are with out these drugs.
I remember this one time were this teacher called me outside the classroom, and she told me " Oscar have you been tested? I think you should be tested. I know people." I was confused because she was the only teacher that asked me that. I felt disrespected and hurt. I told her no, I don't want to be tested.
I feel like teachers who says that think it's easier for them to deal with "dead" students then these lively students.
We shouldn't let these drugs control the kids, but to let them be and be themselves. Its like hiding stars from the sky. Why hide a beauty thing from the world?
