A girl was doing well in school and she had a good GPA. When covid hit she didn’t have as good internet or as good of a computer so her grades dropped. Her classmates had better things than her and kept a better GPA. She said that if she was able to be in school and have the same resources as everyone else she would have been able to keep the same GPA.

For example, a statistic found by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, stating that black and latino students are more educationally segerated today than they were two years ago. ]]> 2023-04-07 13:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547192670 https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547198631 This image shows that the rich districts have more things to help them and have a "slide" that isn't broken. It shows that the poor districts don't have as many things and it isn't good looking. Their "slide" is broken also. The slides represent the inequality because the rich can go safly while the poor it will be more harmful. ]]> 2023-04-07 13:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547198631 The Role of Private and Charter Schools in Furthering or Preventing a quality education emartocchio20241 https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547201807 An argument from Nikole Hannah-Jones speaks about her belief that charter school contribute greatly to inequality and segregation in education. Hannah-Jones believes when white families place their children in charter schools they do it because the public schools in their neighborhoods don't have the majority of white students, and lead to all of the white children in a community attending a school helped funded by parents with high standards. Leaving children of color unable to attend receive a lower quality education. Hannah-Jones also argues the only consequences white children would face at the abolition of charter schools would be gaining more empathy and compassion, whereas how children of color receiving a quality education could change their lives. ]]> 2023-04-07 14:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547201807 emartocchio20241 https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547205502 An article discussing the recent battle in Massachusetts regarding the abolition of Charter schools by Harvard University. ]]> 2023-04-07 14:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547205502 How do race, gender, or sexual orientation factor into the quality of a person’s education? jvallarelli2024 https://padlet.com/lgearin20241/kvbq3670gulg3bng/wish/2547205777 The youth of color is being judged and discriminated against by the teachers and other students.

Living with five other Boston Public School students, she could clearly see the impactful effects of virtual education in her community. Now, classrooms, once vibrant and alive, were replaced by black rectangles, profile pictures, mute icons, and names. You don’t feel comfortable during open discussions because you're too embarrassed to be speaking when it feels like no one else is listening. Seniors having to work on their college applications by themselves most of the time, with just a few meetings with their counselors, and many other negative aspects of remote learning.
Another group affected by virtual learning is students with special needs, many of them have disabilities that make it harder for them to work in a remote setting. PPE should be provided with the utmost consistency, schools should be kept clean and students kept at a distance, and facilities and instructors should be cared for and heard.
While we’re figuring out how to improve the quality of public education in MA, open communication between Boston Public Schools teachers, students and family is a key point for advancement in this topic. In every one of its weekly updates, the school system must include information on all kinds of resources available to families. Above all, this is a time to focus on individuals rather than the organizations.
