Pubblic schools

Reading the paper, everything sound new to me because I didn’t grow up in this country and I getting this information about public school, who are the students and what matters and what doesn’t it, it’s new and I don’t fully understand what is an issue and what’s not. For example, reading one of those statistics, there was one saying that 1 out of 4 students form the public school is a student of color and the number will increase in the future. Now I thought about it and I asked myself first why is important to point this out? what does this mean? Is this a problem or a better thing? How was in the past? Were there less students of color or more in the past years?
I grow up in Italy but not the north Italy, in the past years it’s visible to see multi-cultures in one same town and school. I lived in Sicily where there is 1 out 1000 students is an immigrant and I lived in a town small where everyone is related some how.
When I came here and I got to see multi-culture connect with each others for me was like music to my ears because I remember it that my sociology teacher used tell before I left that I would had a chance to get to now other cultures, lifestyle and it was an amazing opportunity that would make become more open-minded and mature more.
Living in an other continent means, same things as public and private school can have different meaning and different way to be seen. I want get to understand these differences and learn everything about it because as a future teacher I want know what can be changed and modified for the best. I want become one less bad teacher and be an example for my future students.
