The Future Of Urban Schools

I liked this paper so far. I always love see people try to notice the problems or mistakes done in the pst in the schools and try to get a change in the schools for the best and this paper was really giving some good advice.
i thought that the idea that was giving to the citie and its importance was a good point beacuse cities are the places where everything happens and show what the community is all about with let the students get to partecita in public life.
The idea that enjoyed about this paper was that the curriculus everything that the students study should be based about the history of the students so that would make it more interesting and usefull when the students are out there, so ready to belong and make a better community, so have this curriculum a little bit more compleate that would get kids ready for almost everything in life, I say almost because it's not always good to generalize and you never know!
Also in the paper is idea that students can have "the ability to control the course of their lives in the ways that are the promise of democracy" (pg.2) in way a teachers should always belive in their students and try to understand what is the student interested about it, good at and show his abilities to do good things and believe in him/her self.
Also in class we got to exploir more the reading and we focus on the letter and what each letter meant:
AEIOU
A: Agenda based on if you can see something wrong, you can change it, be able to change the changable, You can effect change and you have the tolls to do it.
E: Equity & Justice Justice= Talks about fairness that is do what's right to do as a teacher with her/his students, difference between equity(recognition - individual needs with relationship to the group) and equality (everyone gets the same), getting the right help when they need it.
I:Instruction & Curriculum: how learning actually occurs - focus too much on how people teach instead of how kids really laern. Pick a topic: what will my students learn? How will they learn it? How will I know they will lwarned?
O: Outcomes & Impact: outcomes=the resolt what they learned , the ability to use what they've. Impact= It's real life application
U: Urban Condition: Faces of what schools means for students, Students go to school for different reasons, some like it,, some need it, some mark time and some to wast time. so the question is "How you choose to deal with it and make the difference? "
