Blog Post #9 - Eliminating Ableism by Heir, Examined Life video (Quotes)

-

 The first quote I have comes from Eliminating Ableism in Education by Thomas Heir. “Don’t assume he has the same educational rights as every other child. You’re going to have to fight for that.” The quote comes from a conversation Penny, a mother of a disabled son, had with another person. This quote really stuck out to me when I read Heir’s writing. It’s honestly sad that a child may not be given the same opportunities as other children because of something they’re born with or can’t control.  My second quote also comes from Eliminating Ableism. “This image implies that a disabled person is presumed deserving of pity - instead of respect - until the person proves capable of overcoming disability through extraordinary feats.” I feel like this quote is an example of our society today. A lot of exposure disabled people get is through viral media. I feel like the only stories we really hear about are, like the quote says, them overcoming something though impossible for them. Whi...

Blog Post #8 - Aria by Richard Rodriguez (Reflection)

     Aria by Richard Rodriguez is about his personal experience of growing up speaking Spanish in an English-speaking school. He says that when he was young, speaking Spanish was something special to him and his family. He described it as “private individuality” and gave them a sense of separateness when in public.

I noticed that there was a big contrast between Teaching Bilinguals and Aria . Rodriguez talked about his experience when teachers denied him the opportunity to speak in Spanish. In the videos the teachers are doing the opposite, they are encouraging students to...

Blog Post #11 - Slide Deck Summary (Reflection)

The first activity that stuck with me was the SCWAAMP posters. It was one of the first big activities we did as a class that let us talk and work together. I really enjoyed this activity because I hadn't thought about what aspects were really valued in our society before. The world is constantly changing but there are some things that have stayed constant. This activity made me think about our society in new ways. It was also interesting to hear what my classmates thought about our society. SCWAAMP Slide The second activity that was meaningful to me was the Wheel of Privilege. I think this was a good introduction to intersectionality. No two people will have the same experiences and it was interesting to physically see that on a wheel, on paper. Although I know the wheel doesn’t cover every single part of someone’s identity, I liked seeing some of them covered. I also liked the hands-on aspect of this activity, actually getting to color the wheels and think about myself through dif...
