The student body comprised of kids from housing projects close by. 99% African American, which made it feel very odd to read books about equality in education-including Ruby Bridges books because these kids still did not have it. The teachers were good, the building was okay but they didn't have a fair mix of other students. But when you read the words like "everyone deserves to be able to go to school together, black, brown or white"...these kids were questioning-"where is the diversity here?" I never got over that look and it still makes me wonder about divisions-now through economics-will it ever improve??Peaceful Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10265198438524420667noreply@blogger.com
