A Field Trip to a Strange New Place

As I was reading this article it really hit home for me. I thought of the things that I have never seen but on television. I believe the teacher taking the students just to parts around the neighborhood was a really good idea. This really helped the students understand what was going on around them and to me it seemed really fun to get out of the classroom for a little bit. I would really love to be able to do this with my students.

Education Gap

This article had some really good points in it. Wealthier parents normally do spend more money on their kids, by putting them in sports, or hiring a tutor. Though I do not really agree with how much time the article says on kids who come from wealthy parents speed more time outside of the home. I am sure this is the cases most of the time, though in my case I was in day care from 5am to 5pm M-F. On the weekends I was with my grandmother, since my mom was always working. I did like how the article mentioned that the race divide in education is not as much as it used to be, but the income of parents played a bigger part in education.
