Surfing the website http://www.glsen.org/cgi-bin/iowa/all/library/record/2833.html?state=tools&type=educator; i saw this power title "ready set respect. I had no choice but to read it because i am a strong believer in respect. some of my favorite respect quotes are "you only get some if you give some", "meet me halfway" and "you will receive what you give out".
This article was designed to help elementary educators provide to make an environment that all students feel safe and respected and develop respectful attitudes and behaviors. The GLSEN provides helpful cues to educators prepping themselves for teaching about respect.
Through out the years there has been increases in on bullying in schools.Students at their school are called names, made fun of or bullied more than often then one may think. Most commonly this is because of students' looks, followed by not being good at certain things, how well they do at school or because other people think they're gay and or stupid.
Educators are not to blame but educators are a key to the solution of bullying coming to a halt or slowing down. One obligation is to ensure a safe learning environment for gender nonconforming students. The schooling environment is meant to feel comfortable going to class everyday without thoughts of thinking what one will put down by another student.
Comment: i was on the end of being bullied once but then i fought back against 2 kids and they left me alone, lesson learned you need to figt for respect sometimes

What this article is talking about is the the hardships of being a student with a language different then others in the classroom. Now since you language is so different now you have to simulate yourself with the rest of the class to learn at this level. Becoming bilingual is your next step learning a second language which learning a second language, that language being English is very difficult. because in all languages is the hardest one to learn because its the one that does not similar to any other language and follows different language rules. Now going back to the home setting you are now the one in your household speaking a different language that you werent taught by your mother and father. this in many cases can bring some type of pleasure distress or hate towards yourself. many different factor come into effect. now you deal with speaking more of one language like the English you just learned which was not easy at all and since your in school more than home that becomes more dominate.
Coming from Brentwood Long Island i dealt with much diversity and had some of the most diverse friends and classmates you would ever meet. Me growing up in Brentwood i have become somewhat bilingual myself just being in classes and having many spanish friends. would say if i had not had those chances i would have fell behind in my spanish classes and further more i would have not been able to keep up with my community as well as i have going to bodgeds, communicating with many random people helping me out in stores and with directions. i have been friends with some friends who learned a second language being english and also being in their homes more the once. One friend lives with only his mother who only speaks spanish, she is so proud of her son that he learned english and will be the first to graduate high school. i have another friend who lives with both parents that speak spanish and they are happy and love him but you can sense that his parents dont like that he lost much of his spanish and heritage a bit to simulate himself to better himself and try and go further with his life.
In conclusion i believe its good to learn the langues you must to better yourself and further your education but just stay in tune with your heritage. never lose youself for the better but always better yourself for the greater goal and for your family name.
Comment: identity is a strong this as a person that carries along with us through life and build character losing our dominate language were losing apart of our self which you should never allow to happen.

Quote 1: " The day is coming when the world will be destroyed" "everybody is going to burned to crispy cookies"
This is an important quote because this is words coming from the little child who is very knowledge and aware of his surroundings and fearless. But i believe what he is trying to say is that way he is growing up and seeing what he sees its only a matter of time that the goverment and or the culturally powered people will help bring this world to nothing and crumble. Because they are on top and in their eyes will be good no matter what so they dont need to help out anybody which is the start of a downfall.
Quote 2: "Evil exists"
Powerful words making a strong bold statement that its almost funny that you can know there is such a pour place that exists in the US just a few blocks away from people who arent struggling and people they live their life with out a care about money. But yet their is nobody that trys to help anybody out here out all but yet they come to the bronx to dumb their trash, hand out condoms and needles and they dont even send out big magazines or new articles to them either leaving the people of the Bronx totally in the dark.
Quote 3: "Heroin's making a comeback in our neighborhood, theres something different in it from before, so its stronger and i guess more lethal"
In this quote i feel like this drug is made stronger by the government. I believe that because there is nothing good coming out from the Bronx at this time nothing beneficial at all that the government can benefit off of. this is why i believe the government is leaving in this "DOA" because ever other wrench they throw at these people like the hospitals, not reporting to distress calls, and letting crimes run easy as they do; are not enough.
Comment: After reading this article I think there was a much deeper meaning and gleam of light that was shinning on our government. Kozol was also telling us the government is the evil character hiding in the back playing dirty tricks.
