This picture/school was taken in Washington. My grandmother told me she hated her teacher because she was very rude. Not only to her but to other students of color as well. My grandmother only spoke Spanish, and was still learning English. Every time she would speak her language, she would get hit by a ruler. Not only that, if she didn't know the answer to a question she would also get hit by the ruler.  She would get hit on the hand pretty hard. My grandmother also told me students of color were not allowed to go restroom, so the teacher would force them to pee on their seats. During recess the kids were segregated. Whites on one side, and Mexicans, Hispanics, Natives/Indigenous, and African American on other side. The kids would complain to their parents, but unfortunately they couldn't do anything. So kids would cry on their way to school because of how bad they were mistreating them. ]]> 2022-01-19 07:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/1999764731 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045489970 Just click the picture to open the Padlet. ]]> 2022-02-14 05:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045489970 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045496499 Click on the picture to open the Padlet. ]]> 2022-02-14 05:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045496499 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045553901 Here we have the rich and the foreign trying to claim the beaches, when the beaches are public. This relates to TE by what I believe is an actual colonization. ]]> 2022-02-14 06:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045553901 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045594089 In this article the teacher did a Nazi salute in front of the class, and one of the student had to apologize to the teacher because he made him look bad. The school, and the teacher failed to understand what they did was wrong. As a teacher you should know what is right and wrong, what is sensitive, be open minded, and have diversity. Our education system is failing to teach the students, making a safe place for students, and is not making the schools/teachers being held accountable for the actions they are taking. ]]> 2022-02-14 07:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045594089 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045650451 I will be talking about some barriers that are faced when being bilingual. I will be talking about a Cristo G perspective about these barriers. Cristo comes from a Latin background, his first language is Spanish then was taught English in school, and he was born here in the United States. Cristo speaks about how he can't really fit in, "It doesn't matter how much English I know, it will always sound like I have an accent." He also speaks on how sometime he forget his vocabulary when trying to communicate with other people, and since most people speak English, he feels he is losing his mother language (Spanish). This connects with TE by learning a language could be difficult, but when once you learn it, you feel you lose your own language just trying to fit in with the society. Also for him learning English is must, and necessary thing to do, but when someone else learns another language as a hobby. It deemed as cool, and classy. There a double standard that just don't seem right to me. ]]> 2022-02-14 07:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2045650451 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2126099554 We see here that the American Education System is putting too much weight on their teachers, and yet they give them so little resources. This teacher and many other teachers only want best for their students but the education system is doing nothing. Teachers have to work with what they got, spend some of their own money or work in terrible conditions by the school. The education system is failing them. The students and teachers. ]]> 2022-04-01 23:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2126099554 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2126102024 Here we have a women who has Autism explaining some of many traits that people with Autism have.

The school doesn’t want to change their mascot or uniform because of tradition. Disney should have known better, and the school needs to change. Tradition or not, they should know this is wrong. Natives American have been protesting for change in school mascots, names, etc.. They been protesting for so long but people are to ignorant too change it because of tradition.  ]]> 2022-04-01 23:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2126102870 navaalex https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2126107898 “Autistic Masking means hiding behind an exterior that isn’t you in order to fit in socially or in certain settings or situations. Also in order to avoid the risk of being shunned, laughed at, bullied and so on. Autistic people are frequently masking because they have experienced getting bullied just by being themselves. This takes a lot of EMOTIONAL and COGNITIVE energy which in the end will send the Autistic person into burnout. Masking means SUPPRESSING your true emotions so much that you lose a sense of who you really are and start feeling like a fake. 
This turns into depression. 
As Autistic girls enter their teens they become especially good at masking, unfortunately this means becoming diagnosed very late in life.
Why girls? Because of social conditioning.” -thespectrumgirl

I, myself have ASD which is Autism Spectrum Disorder, and so does my younger sister. I wasn’t diagnosed until my high school years, while my younger sister was diagnosed in her elementary years. While we both have autism, we’re on a different level of spectrums. My younger sister needs a lot of extra help with learning and with normal day to day tasks at home. For example showering. In school, she gets bullied a lot because they know she different, and teachers tend to give up on her because of her disability. She knows they have given up on her, so she doesn’t try to learn. The bullying doesn’t stop, and they just pass her to next grade like nothing. My younger sister knows she different, which is not bad thing. She always laughing, full of smiles, and joy. It rare for her to cry, when she does it really heartbreaking. Their times when she comes crying from school because of bullying is so bad, and feels like she really not part of the school. The school, and teachers do nothing to stop the bullying or help to make her feel included. While my experience in school was something a little different. I actually didn’t have a hard time learning or doing day to day tasks. In school I wouldn’t talk, always by myself, had a hard time making friends, and sometimes teachers would always pick on me. I also couldn’t understand social cues. For example when a teacher would make a joke, I couldn’t understand why it was funny but everyone in class was laughing so I joined them and laugh even though I didn’t know why or when my mother signaled me to come closer by moving her neck to the left. I thought she was stretching her neck, or that it was broken. I tried everything to make sure I didn’t make myself noticeable or stand out, I did this up to the way to high school, from there things were getting too difficult for me to fit in. I knew I was different but just didn’t know how, and since I masked so well it hard to diagnose me, and that resulted to me losing myself from masking so often and having depression. I feel like the school and the teachers should do more for her than give up. They should actually help my younger sister get an education, make her feel included. Even though she different, she still can understand things that other don’t. She is not stupid, she has feelings as well. As for me I felt like if I was diagnosed sooner, things would have make sense to me, and have an understanding, as well probably could have received accommodations. As future educator don’t give up on a student who has any form of disability, don’t make them feel any less, instead make them feel included in the classroom. Give them the help they need, and the access they need. If you think or see a student who might have a disability. Don’t be afraid to have a meeting with their parents and school to get them checked. You are doing the student a favor by giving them the help they need. ]]> 2022-04-04 01:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/navaalex/vfpcmhtnxgldvp03/wish/2127757004
