My Favorite Part of the Class

My favorite part of the class was the different medium presentations. It really let me delve into different research aspects of my topic without doing an entire research presentation. For my medium, I chose to write a blog. My favorite part of the blog was interviewing one of the students from a nearby, low income school that I tutor. Even though it was not in my community, I feel that I gained perspective on what it feel like to go to school in a low income school, and be a minority. (I am a minority and did go to a low income school, but it wasn't the same). But it was enriching experience hearing from another person about how they felt about their school and how they felt about being in a primarily minority school. It tied well into the school district I was focusing on where almost 96% of the district is minorities. I feel that research and overall statistics are important, but  behind those statistics are real people, an aspect that people tend to forget about. I feel that having the interview in my blog strengthened the pathos, and provided a first hand student perspective of being in a disadvantaged school situation. After that interview, I felt more than ever there was a definite inequality in education.
