My vision of school

Most schools miss the main purpose of schooling which is exiting kids to love Education and think for them self. Schooling is changed very little since it stated. Schooling were formed to revolving the farmers schedule. Still in America school uses the same schedule.  Schools should change with technology.

 

The traditional way of learning requires memorizing and testing students on whatthey can memories on, which letter on could be forgotten by many.  The traditional way schooling is basically brain washing students, which is a motivating for many. Motivating kids could be challenging because they are immature. As they say it takes a crook catch a crook. You got to think like kids to teach them. Kids have the lowest attention spam. Making things interesting to the kids by doing a lots of activities toengage the students and teach them to think for them selves would help much better then just telling them “stuff”. By making them reenact and engaging themin to the activity would serve them a lot. One they might grow an interest tothat filed two there is a much chance that they are going to remember it justbecause they engaged in it.

 

School should be a place where kids are free to express their ideas and opining and to experience things. School should be longer hours. From lots of research we know 75% of brain develops when they are below 5. Teach them things when they are blow that age such aslangheges instead of waiting until high school when you know they would not be interested on it hard for the students to understand or learn it. Scientist comes up with lots of study on what could be better for kids to learn but none of it is on practice at the moment that is just a waste. Some Canadian researcher(heard it on radio) he did a research on urban parents and middle in comefamilies on how they raise their kids. He actually find out that the urbanparent hit their kids and use inappropriate word around their child when the middle in come family try to reason with their 2 or 3 years old child. He foundout reasoning with the kinds and spending time with them even for half an hour will have a big different on the kids life. So kids should learn good ethic skill from home and school should be where they in enhance there knowledge and parntes should be as much involve in there child acandamic as much as theteachers.

 

You have done your job after you hook students to knowledge they would not going to let go. We would not going to have a problem who done there home work on not because students have a good working entice. School would be transform for the better.

unsolved murders in philadelphia

over the past couple of years, Philadelphia’s murder ratereached highs not seen since the 1980s, according to the Philadelphia PoliceDepartment. So far this year, more than 315 people have been killed, a pace ofwell over a murder a day, police said. That’s a higher rate, according to FBIstatistics, than much larger cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.

 

what we done so far is...

The rough draft of our script is almost finished; we are working on in finishing the script.  Well my group is having a little difficulty finding the lines that goes to the script. Most of my group doesn’t have their laptop including me. That is saintly a problem to collaborate on the google document. Which means we have to share one of our shown laptop for every computer need.
I understand some of the characters in more deaths since we start doing this project, I specially understudy Desdemona

what my group done

So far my group and I are working on the lines that is going to our play. Most as post lines to goggle document. Some of difficulty we are facing is using our time properly some of my group members argue or go of task easily.

OTHELLO

first, Iago and Othello personality confuses me. Well Iago is a villain, and Othello is believed what people tell him. Othello and iago loves Desdemona. I gausses Iago is not a good villain when Desdemona got chocked to death by Othello. It is because as Iago said he loves Desdemona. Now there is no chance for him to be with her. I thought all his deceit to be with Desdemona

reflective post3

I am facing problem writing the last two bogs. I don’t want to sound repetitive in my bogs. As this point I am running out of ideas. The research I have done so far helped me on understand about the why it important to worry about hunger. When I started this project I didn’t really know what I could do to help. As this project go by I started to understand why it complicated to stop the poverty in Philadelphia.
    

HUNGER

Philadelphia is the 5th largest city in the U.S.  Much kind of divers of people lives in Philadelphia. Health in Philadelphia needs a lot of attention than the other cities in the U.S.  According to the article of healthy Philadelphia, "Philadelphia has low berth with rate and African American woman have higher death rates for heart disease and other kind of disease." Everything that is going on in Philadelphia contributes to the hunger in Philadelphia. Perhaps crime and drugs could be one of the thing that effecting Philadelphia from solving food insecurity in Philadelphia.

    According The Paradox of Obesity and Hunger  “Households without money to buy enough food often have to rely on cheaper, high calorie foods to cope with limited money for food and stave off hunger” providing food stamp may help kids in Philadelphia to have a balance.

    Food stamps are helping many law income families. Food stamps don’t rich to all the people who need support, according to PDF file I read. If food stamps are reduced by 1% almost 4000-13000 people will be come food insecure households. Imaging if food stamps increase by 5% that would help many people that don’t get any kind of assistant form food stamp. The one thing we Philadelphia has to accomplish has to be food to reaching more people who need food assistant.

Organization  also made a lot of progress by helping people in needs.  According to this “The Hibernian Hunger Project is a nationwide community service program that feeds thousands of needy people through a series of events that run throughout the year.” If Philadelphia has more of these organization the hunger rate in Philadelphia would be a lot different.

To make my research local I read about poverty in Philadelphia and I found out that “Philadelphia has one of the highest child poverty rates in the US,” according www.growproject.org . A family is considered “food insecure” if they don’t have consistent access to healthy food because of economic reasons.

People who are low income don’t receive enough help from outside resources. Because of this, they have to make hard choices about how to use their low wages. This leads them to be in crisis and become food insecure households.

For example, 33% of food insecure household don’t receive food stamps, 84% of food insecure household don’t receive any kind of housing subsidies and most of the mothers are depressed. When the mothers are depressed they can’t keep a job. That is one of the main reasons why Philadelphia has the highest rates in poverty.

Many people are relying on food stamps. “In Philadelphia, over 133,600 people are cutting down on the meals because of the lack of money.” Most people don’t consider about there meals before they accomplish their bills and depts. There for they get them selves and their families on food insecure. By providing people who are in poverty will help to maintain their home with out warring about food.

Reflection 1

The idea of "changing the world" seems unimaginable to me spicily for the topic like Hunger. Hunger is worldwide problem. It need people who are committed to stop it. It also needs resource like money that I don't think I have. The RSS helped me with my research. The only thing I am straggly with to find a person for my elevator peach...

HUNGER

Starvation is affecting the majority of population in the countries in the developing world. Coming from the Ethiopia, a developing country has exposed me to seeing people who are starving. This is in contrast to this country where people throw out food that is perfectly fine.

It doesn’t seem fair to see these two opposite things. As I researched my topic I found out more than half of African children are under fed or go to bed hungry. According to BBC news, “A lot of countries in Africa urgently need food. Agriculture in Africa is at a crisis. It leaves 200 million people malnourished.”

People who are suffering form starvation get weaker and weaker as the days go by. This website says that students were a help by bringing cane food to end world hunger. This makes it hard for them to work, because they are relying on donations. Donating food for people who are starving may solve the problem right away. The right way to solve starvation is help those who are in need change their life style, like through their use of better farming tools and the creation of irrigation systems. This type of solution cost money this people don’t have.
