I think the biggest historical event that has had an effect on education is the Brown v. Board of Education. In the classroom that I am observing, there are children of all races/skin colors in the room. They are all inter-mingled, working together, sitting together, doing the same work, and none of this would be happening if it wasn't for Brown v. Board of Education. I am glad that kids are able to work together, and have equal educational opportunities together. And my favorite part is that the kids don't care if there is someone of a different race working with them, they are just happy to be together, and anxiously anticipating recess coming.
When interviewing the teacher about the no child left behind, I got some mixed feelings. The teacher is a first year teacher who is overwhelmed with new lesson plans, learning how to teach, learning how to deal with kids, etc. The extra regulations add another level of stress and worry. She is also grateful for the idea of helping all kids receiving a proper education and says that the sacrifices are worth it when all the kids are able to move on at the same rate.
