Haiku

Colors Everywhere!
They Are All We Ever See!
Is That All We See?


I wrote this haiku about colors because lately in class most of our conversations have been about races and how its effects our school systems. It seems like schools these days worry more about how each race does in school instead of how each student does in school as an individual. I realize that race is something that is really important in America but doesn't it seem like people let this huge topic of race control their lives and how they live?

Schools have specific curriculum standards that provide our students with the higher capability to learn. Also standardized testing provides administrators with the in deciding what our students are having problems with and all what knowledge of what our students are learning in the classroom. This will help our schools they excel in.
More than half of the country’s public school students are white. Children of color make up the majority of public school enrollments in six states and many school districts. Children of color also constitute a majority of students in two-thirds of the nation’s 50 largest school districts, and over 90% of enrollments in several of the nation’s largest districts. In major U.S. cities classrooms are more culturally diverse.
A majority of teachers have advanced degrees as well as more then 10 years of experience. This means not only are our teachers well educated but have stay in the system for quite some time and have great experiences with our schools. Nine out of ten of the teachers are white as well as eight out of ten teachers are female.

First Day Reaction

The first day of class, I feel, is one of the most important days of class that you will have throughout the semester. The reason for that is because it is the day where you meet not only your teacher for the class but also your fellow classmates. In this first day you also go over all the material that will be taught to us during the course and also all of the assignments and grading procedures that teacher will discuss with the class.

This first day of class was one that was very exciting and also nerve wrecking for me because being that I am a transfer student from Brookdale Community College and it was one of my first classes that I was taking as a student at Montclair State. So many things were going through my head such as is the teacher going to be boring, is the class going to be to difficult for me to handle, and am I going to be the only student in the class that is a transfer. As I walked into the class I sat in the first open seat that i saw and waited for the teacher to arrive while other students were entering the class seeming just as curious about the course as I was.

As the class began all of my worries were fading away, the teacher seemed to be very funny and interactive with all of the students which is always a plus because no one like a teacher that just sits there and reads from his notes. The class material seemed to be just perfect in ways that it will challenge me but not overwhelm me to the point of a nervous breakdown. And it turned out that the majority of the students in the class were transfers just like me. After going through all of the class materials and getting to know all of the other students in the class I was looking foward to the rest of this course and also the rest of my time in college.
