Wow, what an incredible read, I firmly believe that all future teachers should be required to read and digest this essay, it is full of raw facts and expanded beliefs about the future of American education. This essay goes beyond just facts about our education system, but applies it to how the teachers are effected currently and how they will be effected in the future in terms of our "salad bowl" American culture. Students should be given the right to enter a school building and not be seen as what they represent but be seen as another student wanting to learn and I feel Harold Hodgkinson ( the author of the article) called out the dark secrets of our wonderful, perfect society and made the reader realize to teach is to embrace what students have to offer and use that as a launching pad to unique and personalized knowledge.
I hope that I never forget this essay and keep it in my heart all the days of my life, with all I meet

What makes it so frustrating is the fact that too many people want to ignore difference because they think it weakens the nation. To me it makes us stronger.
