Blog 4

An important historical event that I will include in my timeline is the Brown vs Board of Education court case which took place in 1954. Oliver Brown was a parent of a black student who had to walk miles just to get to her bus stop. Schools were segregated and divided between Blacks and Whites. White students were treated better and taught higher quality education than the African American schools. Brown went in front of the Supreme court and fought for equal schooling. The supreme court approved.
I feel that this is important to my timeline because it played a major role in the development of our schooling and country as a whole. Students should be taught diversity and should be accepting of others.

I feel that if someone is to give feedback it is important that it should be in a positive way and be constructive criticism. I feel that if feedback is negative that it is important to say it in the nicest way possible or else the writer may be offended.

Timeline

One major even that I included on my timeline was during my senior year of high school. We took a field trip to Broadmoor School, which is a school for students with learning disabilities who are considered to need special education. I was given the opportunity to sit down and play with these students and teach them new things. I was filled with joy when I saw how excited they would get when they learned or accomplished something new. This was when i decided that I wanted to get a degree in special education.
