Multicultural Academy, 5550 Platt Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 Multicultural Academy is a public charter school with 182 students enrolled from kindergarten through 8th grade (according to their website, but it is k-12th grade on greatschools.org with some comments mentioning high school students). The student body is ethnically diverse with 56% of the student body being African American, 25% White, 16% Hispanic, 1% Asian, and a small percentage of students are Hawaiian Native, Pacific Islander, Native American, Alaska native, or identify as two or more races. Seventy-four percent of the students are from low-income families and 51% are female (49% male). Their student to teacher ratio is 10:1, better than the state average of 19:1. All of their teachers are certified and 76% of them have at least 3 years of experience. The school is surrounded by fields, greenery, and residential housing. The school’s profile on greatschools.org is also unclaimed, meaning the school leaders have not updated their school’s page general information to share more about the school. It has …show more content…

I did not see explicit political goals listed in the comments but economic and social goals are clear. Parents want their children to be prepared for college so they can have more economic growth and move through the social later. Parents also want their children to build character, be more tolerant of others, and be apart of a social life at school. They emphasize these social and economic goals along with academic goals. Parents may feel this way about social goals because their children spend a large amount of time at schools and it is the easiest place for their student to be socialized. The reading help me understand why the parent commented on certain aspects and how other aspects, such as political goals, are so embedded in our thoughts that they are not

Plus, at the end, she argues that the government should not be cutting the school programs and art related activities. Those programs definitely do help the students and the parents as well.

  • Chicano Educational Pipeline Summary

    591 Words  | 3 Pages

    Critical Race Counter stories along the Chicana/Chicano Educational Pipeline by Tara Yosso focuses on a parent organization called the “Las Madres”. This article counters common stereotypes of Mexican Americans and brings light to several injustices in the education system. This article connects to other readings that also bring up the stereotype of Mexican American parents not caring about their student’s education. “Las Madres” is living proof that they do care about education despite what others may think about them. I feel like more change can be done through “Las Madres” than PTA meeting that they feel like they are being excluded from because they are noticing injustices and issues within the community due to the color of people’s skin.

    However, the argument is successfully conveyed, more so, with the usage of ethos and logos. For logos, it is by using a survey early on in the article to show the audience, that in American culture children are likely to develop unrealistic goals in response to grown-ups encouraging them to follow their dreams, no matter how lofty. Because of this appeal to logos, Garrett manages to appeal to the audience’s emotions by getting them to inquire about a time where they may have told a child that they could be anything they wanted to be when they grow up, and the negative effect this could have. As for ethos, Garrett promotes her article’s credibility by using both academic and ordinary sources; therefore, allowing her to expand her audience beyond those with a higher form of education. Throughout the entire article, Garrett can be seen using rhetorical appeals to support her

    I have worked with medical students who come from the UA COM-P culture and I believe they bring a great amount of cultural awareness to their role on the healthcare team.   The focus of early clinical exposure at UA COM-P makes a significant difference in learning how to care for people. The UA COM-P emphasis on cultural diversity allows for more learning opportunities and fully encompasses what it means to take care of the patient and not just treat a disease.   I entered the medical field wanting to be at the bedside helping people.   I think this gives me a unique view, and ability to help contribute to UA COM-P diversity centered training and culture.

As I thought about my own childhood and origin, I realise that I was brought up with strong humanistic values, by both rational parents that were not ‘religious’. Although I am a Muslim and was brought up as one but with hen site I can see that I was brought up with a deeply developed conscious and inward teaching of Sufism which is the heart of Islam.
