I want those kids to have the most beautiful school in the whole why world and I find it perplexing, but I suppose not uncommon, that they do not.

Mireya discusses Fremont’s academic and sanitary problems and in the court papers it states, “Some of the classrooms ’do not have air-conditioning,’ so that students ‘become red-faced and unable to concentrate’ during ‘the extreme heat of summer.’ The rats observed by children in their elementary schools proliferate at Fremont High as well. ‘Rats in eleven . . . classrooms,’ maintenance records of the school report “(Kozol 708).

    These schools are provided with school books, proper equipment, and sanitary conditions. The children of East St. Louis Senior High School, as well as other high schools in East St. Louis, are well aware of the existence of these schools and are obviously upset by the deplorable conditions of their own school. The next school that Kozol visits is Clark Junior High School. Kozol explains that the conditions of these schools are managed by state funding, and the governor of Missouri does not want to keep “dumping money” into the school district and believes that he cannot help a school district that will not help themselves. The children of these schools, however, realize that the money that funds their schools and the money that funds other schools in the state is very different.

  • Alandra's Lilacs Reflection On Deaf Culture

    This school was very beneficial for Alandra’s education because it used the method ‘Total Communication’ which allowed her to use American Sign Language and learn without being restricted by her teachers. However this upside to Alandra having a beneficial education took her away from her mother Tressa at a very young age. Tress explains this when she says, “I believe that leaving my five-year-old daughter at a residential school was the most traumatic event I experienced as a result of her deafness. I have heard all the reasons and excuses for sending deaf children to a residential school- better education, being with ‘their own kind,’ the amount of language they can absorb, and the freedom to express themselves in their own language. Still, I feel that nothing can replace the child growing up at home if a child’s family provides quality support and the public system makes educating deaf children a priority.”

    The concept of consumerism was first brought to my awareness in First Year Writing. I admit, before this intro course, I was indeed ignorant of the negative impacts that consumption had on society. FYS opened my mind to the dangers of over-consumption, and more importantly, helped me see beyond what meets the eye. Take for example, Disney, a seemingly innocent corporation, a company’s whose name is practically synonymous with the notion of childhood innocence. Upon initial judgement, one would assume that Disney is merely harmless family entertainment.

    The conflict in the story is caused by the difference of what the accepted view of education is and the way Miss Ferenczi teaches. The accepted way of teaching is to teach children what is the right way to do specific things, such as math and spelling. Children are taught that these things are what are important for the standard version of success. They are shuffled through the education system, parroting the right answers to test questions back and forth. Tommy shows this as he “cursed the world of spelling and tried erasing it again and saw the paper beginning to wear away” (Baxter 135).

It was the birth of department stores, automobiles and consumption durables. Advertising became a popular and effective means of promoting goods to the consumer through billboards, television, and print media. In turn, this revolutionized a modest, minimalistic way of life into a new culture of a consumeristic society (Mooers “Constructing the Consumer”). It was this revelation that sparked the gluttonous need for the ever new.
