CASE STUDY 2 JULIE AMERO

This article really shocked me because of the sevire consecuences to her actions. If it was me in this situation I would have just unpluged the computer and face the consecuences of unpluging a computer than to have to go to court for exposing kids to pornografic material. I really dislike how although Julie went to the vice principal and to the principal the next day but in court they didn't acknowledged what she had done first. In my opinion I think that they were just trying to push the fault away from the school for not having all the resources to prevent situations like these from happening.

FIRST AVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ORIENTATION

I was really thankful that we got a change for an orientation at first ave. elementary school in Newark. Being able to go to the school before having to go for our teacher shadowing was really helpful. The school is huge so that was a big help because we got a tour so we can learn our way around. Principal Orsini is a great people person and he made me feel conferable during that visit, I would really like to work with a principal like that. Also we got a chance to speak with different department and associations in the school system. I really got a lot of information from the department like the PTA and also the teacher's union. It makes me at ease to know that the union has many benefits and are would be very helpful through out my entire carrier in teaching. This was a wonderful experience.

Should Bilingual Education Programs Be Abandoned?

This is a subject that i am really concerned on because I'm a product of bilingual education. Year by year the population of immigrants is rising in this country. By immigrants i don't just mean Hispanics that also includes Asians, Europeans, Africans, and many other ethnics backgrounds. Bilingual programs help us to establish a quicker learning process of the English language. With out these programs we would be lost. I was in bilingual classes fro 3 years. I know you it feels to be alienated and to feel out of place. These classes gave me the skills i need to survive in the American way of life. Now i don't mean to be too dramatic but it was hard getting a job or communicating with people outside my house. You are a product of your society now and if society wants to take these programs way it would be a big lost. They would ask you to learn on your own time but does anyone really have time now a days. Its very convenient to have these programs in school as part of our every day curriculum and that my OPINION.

Newark schoolyard killings

I really like this article because it tries to take pressure off of Newark. It gives you a map showing were it took place and all the areas that is near. Its not just a Newark problem, its close to south orange, maplewood, and irvington. Newark has chance in the pass 20 years and the crime rate has really lowered. Now just because of this little incident we don't have to start to look at Newark like a bad town again. Newark has just finish their railroad system and the NJPAC plus the new devil's stadium. These are all great things that might not live up to its expectations because people are going to be scared of going to Newark. Homicides are going to happened anywhere. Don't let this little incident push us away from the beautiful town of Newark.
