Reflection 3

Through my adolescence I have attened four different elementary schools and every one was different from the next. Depending on the area would be your result in "multicultural" school. I've attened a mojority african american school, two prodominatelty white and hispanic school, and the last elementary school i attended was multicultural. The last school i attended I believe by far was more diverse and a better learning environment because our evironment was. We had teachers, principles, janiters, and librariens all from a different race and who spoke many different languages.
The majority of the schools that I attended that i attended had the Contributions Approach. I don't really appose it but i do believe that there is a better approach. By having this approach it only gives us information; it doesnt change our way of thinking, or gives us options to take action. We had the normal readings about Martin Luther King Jr. in the month of Febuary and Malcom X but they never went further than that at least not in elementary. When I reached seconday school there was still a few classes that had the Contributions Approach but there was some teachers who felt like children should have a voice and i became more exposed to the Social Action Approach.
I really enjoyed this approach a lot. It made me feel like my own person. It made me feel like a was a young adult who had a say so in my society because we had a part in change. If I had a choice i think I would pick this approach from elementary school children should always be heard. I believe this strongly because adults sometimes have alterior motives and those are the root of their solution; when children on the other hand just want to makes things better. I children know from a young age that they can make a difference we would have will have a world full of young leaders by the time they approach high school. I appreciate the teachers who taught me and gave me the tools to be heard because it made me a very ambitious person and even now that I am a college students thanks to them I know the right way to contact people by writting a letter to my make my opinion heard by the right people.
