Kids I find easy to like- talkative, positive attitudes, respectful
Kids I find it hard to like- disrespectful, mean
Kids I feel sorry for- live in poverty, disabilities, forgotten about
Kids I feel threatened by- Use of language, gang affiliation
Kids I identify with- hard working, easy to get along with
Kids I gravitate towards- the students that need extra help, or seem confused about the subject content
Kids I feel inadequate around- Can spell and their use of language that is superior to mine
Kids I don’t even notice- non- talkers, sit in the back behind students.

Chpt 3
I interviewed someone who was a student in the 60’s and a teacher in the 70’s. There wasn’t any people of color at the school or town where they grew up in Idaho. The first time they saw a person of color was when they were 11 or 12. In school since she was a girl she had to wear dresses and she couldn’t wear paints. However the guys could wear whatever
While in high school there was a right to wear paints on Friday because the girls did a sit in to make the point. When the girls still protested by a seat in the principle asked the girls what did the state law say. When they looked it up all the law said about clothing was they had to wear shoe. This then allowed the girls to wear paints on any days they wanted. She remembers the fear and distrust that the administrator had for the students.
In school girls couldn’t play sports. They were allowed to play power puff foot ball. This was once a year after football season was over. They got to put on football equipment and play football but most people who came to watch thought it was a joke and not a sport. Most people thought it was funny to watch and that is why they came.
When she was a teacher in Idaho there was an occasion Asian, Latino, and even more rare a black kid. When desegregation happened she remembers colored students being bused in from around the area and some students of white color had to be bused to different schools to prevent overcrowding.
She remembers the first time a black family moved to town. They were all about human right and people were thinking they were just trying to rock the boat but in reality they probably just wanted his kids to get the same education as everyone else. She said, “Civil rights changed a lot of thing” and explained how the civil rights act was the start of human rights. Title nine feel shortly there after and then the disability act. The civil right movement opened the door for other movements.
