Listening to America (video in class)

I reallyed liked the video that we watched in class and I learned alot about how different schools can be from eachother even in the same city. The video about 2 boys put in the catagory of exceptional and gifted children, and they both have huge differences in thier backgrounds. One child named Lonnie goes to a school called South Fordham in the inner city of Chigago. And the other boy was James who went to Riverdale in a suberban city in the Chicago. Riverdale is a special school cause its atmospher is a good one. It has teachers trained in thier areas and good training helps teachers do a better job. James even has a community center for kids to go after school. Lonnie's school is different. The teachers are not as well trained and alltogtehr didnt have faith in the kids. The principle has to walk corner to corner to make sure kids are going to school and there is no trouble. After school Lonnie onlyy has a few unsafe places to go, and arcade or basket-ball in a nearby school court. This video really opened my eyes to the differences in schools and how things need to change so every child is getting the same education.
