Public education in the southeastern United States faces a variety of issues as it winds down the first quarter of the 21st century. No issue is perhaps more daunting than the decreasing levels of state funding provided to public education over the last several years. This trend is highly prevalent in the southeast and shows no signs of turning course. Per the U.S. Census Bureau, from 2008-2014, the level of state funding in K-12 public education decreased 5.37% in all eleven southeastern…

Upon arrival, the teacher introduced me to the children and explained to them that I was a guest from Fresno State University and would be observing them. To allow the children…

Saying that I was a hugger is an understatement. I still am to this day. At daycare, I spent most of my time in the toddler classroom, which allowed me to play with my same-age peers. At home, I played with my neighbor Kaelin, a little girl that was three years older than me, and whom ended up impacting not only my childhood, but my entire life. Kaelin had more of a take charge, strong, personality, whereas I was an easy going, laid back child. When we played, Kaelin was very patient with…
