I managed to let an entire week go by without posting anything… Well, I have a really valid reason! I had to write a paper!!! And thankfully, this was the LAST paper that I needed to write for my graduate studies. I am so elated to say that in a few weeks, I will be graduating with my Masters in Education! To commemorate the pre-celebration, I have included a few images from my paper. By the way, you may notice that I branded or stylized my paper. It is hard for me to NOT try and make something look good! Especially when I am asking someone to read more than one page, I want to want to read the paper myself! But beyond that, presentation does go a long ways!
Excerpt from Executive Summary:
In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that separate but equal is unconstitutional, and therefore, a mandate was established that segregated schools needed to be integrated. However, almost 60 years later, we are experiencing some of the same levels of segregation, if not more, in our public, charter, and private schools. This problem has largely stemmed from the phenomenon called “white flight” in which white families move to the suburbs or placing their children in private schools. Meanwhile, low-income parents, who are predominantly minority, cannot afford to move and are left behind in the cities. The result of this migration has been a widened achievement gap among students.
