 Part III: 1950-1980 Separate and Unequal   From reading part three of the book, I have finally gathered more than enough information to better understand as to how the US schools were created with the ones in which we inhabit in the present.   This book has really educated me as well as highlighted many dilemmas with education and how it poorly it was structured and dealt with, especially in this chapter of the book entitled '1950 -1980 Separate and Unequal'.   I would use two words at most to describe this section of the book and that is 'SEGREGATION' & 'INTEGRATION'.             The first word segregation really described the beginning part of this chapter.   Segregation played a huge part in this chapter by showing that the people of color experienced many violent attacks, job losses, being homeless and all this did was highlighted inequality even more.   For example, why was it that Mexic...

  PART TWO: As American As Public School (1900 - 1950)             In this part of the book which is entitled “1900 – 1950 As American as Public School, I have noticed countless things such as child laboir laws, immigrants, immigration and etc, but the main idea of this part of the book was to depict how the education system and structure was in the 1900’s – 1950’s.  This school system had many poor practices and behaviors that caused a negative impact on the school and its impression.  For instance, from what I have, when children drop out of school or quit school and start to work, their parents would approve and support that adverse action.  Hence, causing the graduation rate of the school to be at six percent, and this is the  calculated percentages of students who graduate or complete their program within a specified timeframe.          ...

PART ONE: The Common School (1770-1900)             From my readings of the first part of the “ Story of American public education”, I have observed and made to realize so much new things.  My reflection on part one which is entitled ‘The Common School’, I was finally mindful and made to realize how the improvement and growth of the school system then  and now has improved drastically.  The way in which the buildings are built and structured now versus then has changed and even the way in which persons were taught or treated in the school system has transformed as well now maybe not by much but there is a slight development.  The way the environment was described in the book it was hard for me to read seeing it seemed as  though these children were to learn in a hazardous and insecure environment.  I am thankful for the environment I have encountered in my days of schooling for it is way better than wha...
