“If that girl can be taught that the milk makes the baby ill because it is not clean and be provided with a simple test that she may know when milk is clean, it may take her unto the study not only of the milk within the four walls of the tenement house, but into the inspection of the milk of her district.”

Richer and Finer Material of the Immigrant Experience

a girl living in a tenement household, helping along this tremendous adjustment, healing over this great moral upheaval which the parents have suffered and which leaves them bleeding and sensitive – – such a girl has a richer experience and a finer material then any girl from a more fortunate household can have at the present moment moment

Dewey and Addams from Chicago. Were they friends?

Indoctrination of U.S. Schools

2025-09-09 23:08:41 UTC

We discussed in Butler's class about the indoctrination in American schools, and Jane Addams touches on this: "The parents are thereafter subjected to certain judgment, the judgment of the young which is always harsh and in this instance founded upon the most superficial standard of Americanism" (p. 41). This shows how the students are taught American standards which then leads to the children criticizing their own parents who exhibit the values, morals, and traditions of foreign cultures.

Knowing Students' Home Life

"The children long that the school teacher should know something about the lives their parents lead" -- As teachers, it is important for us to know our students' lives outside of school

Benefits to Communities

"I believe if these people are welcomed upon the basis of the resources which they represent and the contributions which they bring, it may come to pass that these schools which deal with immigrants will find that they have a wealth of cultural and industrial material which will make the schools in other neighborhoods positively envious."

Opportunities for learning go both ways...

"I wish I had the power to place before you what it seems to me is the opportunity that the immigrant colonies present to the public school"

The children long that the school teacher should know something about the lives their

parents lead and should be able to reprove the hooting children who make fun of the

Italian mother because she wears a kerchief on her head, not only because they are

rude but also because they are stupid.

Education is a powerful tool in this regard. It has the power to shape students' future. Education is a powerful tool for community and hope for immigrant students. It allows students and families to feel a sense of belonging.
