Module 2.... ASSIGNMENT PART

Agree - The view of American Nationalism, ideas about culture, racial and religious pluralism and policies and practices about civic education have interacted in us from 1900 to the early 1950s. The ideas about being surrounded with many cultures and different races can be hard on the kid knowing their own race, culture, and religions, it is very hard knowing others and understanding it and also can be hard to accept them and be friends with them. In the early 1900 and 1950s, they had started to be educated about in schools and make sure the history of every race of every culture and the studies to be taught all over American Nationalism. Civic Education is the study of the theoretical, political and practical aspects of citizenship, as well as its rights and duties. Civic education in a democratic society most assuredly needs to be concerned with promoting understanding of the ideals of democracy and a reasoned commitment to the values and principles of democracy. Those immigrant children would still be considered a priority in giving them proper education and not view them as second class citizens. They are the same as natural-born citizens and deserve a decent education like everyone else

Argue - While Americans had been debating these ideas for years, the shift to more inclusive and, to a degree pluralistic, nationalism occurred primarily during the 1930s and 1940s. The idea of debating over this for years and no one took action until years after. In the past decade, we have witnessed dramatic demands for freedom on the part of peoples from Asia to Africa and from Central and Eastern Europe to Latin America. One of the great successes of the public-school system was the fact of Americanizing immigrants. Schools were needed to teach children knowing that they would need in order to become productive members of American society. The American public-school system was a beacon of hope and opportunity, that would be essential in transforming America. And as we have seen one totalitarian or authoritarian regime after another toppled and fledgling democratic governments replace them, we may have become too optimistic about the future of democracy. We also may have become too complacent, too sure of democracy's robustness or of its long term viability. 

 Assume -  During the reading this article, I read about the immigration between 1900 and 1930 of over 18.6 million people coming into the US.  I understand that during this 1st person view, the author describes their parent’s past experience of being an immigrant during the time of America’s age of reforming its education system. The immigrants have a very large impact on the USA and most of them feel that they are not needed. Most children come to the USA and do not get educated like other children, they could go to school but it does take time to have them in school after all the paperwork that needs to be done.

Aspire -  “they or their parents understood that education was the likeliest route to improving their future lives in America”   If you do not send your child to schools and learn like other children because you need to believe that your child can be someone really big and to help out in the future. I believe that all children and immigrant children should be able to view it as a priority because they will be a large part of our population in the years to come.  They shouldn't be separated differently or treated differently. 

Assignment part 3

It all started in the mid-nineteenth when the public school was open and it was called the " common" school. It wasn't for anyone, and not everywhere not everyone to that chance and learned. everyone does deserve to be educated especially the girls, the girls who stay behind and not get the chance to be educated just the same way as boys. the word fear is just an emotional way of seeing someone wants something but they can't have it. We find that education was really hard to come by but many people including presidents believed that education was vital in the citizen's lives to future development and growth. You really can't do something really big without entering school, that's why it should be very important to us having boys and girls be at the same level in life.

  The sentence that is a quote by Thomas Jefferson had me focused on he was a person who fought for education free education at the end public schooling for all and the sentence that he says perfectly ties to get the reason as to why these are important for everyone. 

    being a lower class does not give you a lot of options to be educated but to stay home and work, and that is why children have a lot of fear about the future without being educated." the mid-nineteenth- century " common" school displayed not only financial inequalities but also cultural biases, racism, and gender discrimination, values challenged but still dominant in that day and beyond. 

Blog Assignment # 1

                      

My name is Dalia wissa I am 22 years old who came from Egypt at a very young age and left school at also a young age, grew up in Bayonne with my family barely knew English I had my cousin who was helping out me with classes and especially reading books because we know the definition of literate is someone who can read and write.  

 

when I moved to the USA, that's when I had my cousin help me out with my readings and that is exactly who inspired me, He is the one who inspired me and worked really hard with me for a year plus I work on my self in school, he was always my supportive person all the time. I wouldn't have it done through the school year without him and also a class called ESL who provides the English language to help out with children who do not speak English.  The ESL program was encouraging everyone with all the literate. 

I believe I was about 10 years old when I started to read my first book and writing, that's when I started my first experiences of reading and it was my first time. It felt really good knowing how to read and how to write catching up with the rest of my classmate, it was so difficult trying to communicate with others while I did not know English and that's why it took me time to make friends. As I said earlier my role model is my cousin who stood by my side and taught me all the time. 

As of today, I am working with children and I need to use it with them too and that's why I love to read with my children in the class.
