teacher6402: «The reason that scores and achievement are so low
in urban districts is due to many factors:
transient leadership, unqualified administrators, lack of curricula, poverty and
transient students, lack of parental and
community support, politicians posturing at the expense of poor and
urban communities, and yes - ineffective teachers who often get
in to
urban school districts because they lack the skill set and content knowledge to get
in to other districts.»
As a geographer I am passionate about redefining the ways we live and create
community in highly -
transient and densely - populated
urban spaces, and I have worked with
communities in the U.S. and Latin America on land rights and sustainable
community development I know how important it is to be able to see a tiny house
in person and talk with people who are living
in them before embarking on the huge endeavor of building one.
