family had material wealth. What I learned from this chapter is privilege refers to the amount of melanin in a person skin, hair and eyes.

On our kindergarten team we had three Blacks, two Whites and one Hispanic. I remember one of the white teachers describing three of…
The school had large IEP meetings. The Special Education teacher was responsible for coordinating the meeting. She can teach other teachers without her qualifications about complex terms. “In order to be prepared to educate students with special needs in the regular education classroom, new teachers need to know the terms and have information about the responsibilities associated with these students” (Lapairie, 23).

believe the same can be said when it comes to education. Technology makes it easy for students to receive instant gratification from the many games, music, and social media that surrounds them. Unfortunately, the lack of these things to keep students engaged in class often leaves students uninterested in classwork.
