the first class

I enjoyed the first class and introduction to what the semester will bring. There was great enthusiasm and communication throughout the instruction, and I hope it continues throughout the year. I found the reading extremely interesting. It opened my perspective of how the education system really works. It was also disturbing to know that these statistics on drop out rates, and scores lower in urban areas are not changing the way education is centralized throughout the state. If we know that the local community is where most of the money for schools comes from, how are students expected to do well when there is no money in their community?
