dc.description.abstract | Lincoln Junior High, a public school in Pontiac,
Michigan, is a stereotypical urban school. It serves
approximately 800 students: white, black, Latino, Native
American; sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. Its racial
mix is achieved through a district-wide busing program.
Lincoln students generally fall into the lowest socioeconomic
levels of the city of Pontiac, the lowest within
each of the racial.categories. Lincoln is plagued by
problems commonly associated with our urban schools:
financial difficulties, discipline problems, absenteeism,
low academic scores, etc. However, the individuals who
work, teach, and learn in the school cannot be reduced to
stereotypes or statistics. Education and schooling only
become meaningful when considered as interactions between
individuals. Only then can the problems appear clear and
approachable; only then can the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Accordingly, after establishing the general
context of the school, this paper will chronicle the shared
experiences of two individuals at Lincoln Junior High over
eleven weeks: a student and his student teacher, myself. | en_US |
