What Are The Challenges In The Movie Walkoout

When the Supreme Court ruled that nine teenagers would be chosen to integrate LIttle Rock’s Central High School, the citizens of Little Rock responded in many different ways. Most of the students at Central High School were very rude to the nine students and very few were kind to them. In the book there were many instances were the students were rude but one example was on page 72 when the nine students walked in the school most students were yelling very rude things to them.

In the city of Los Angeles is Fremont High School, and unlike most schools in the country, this one runs on a three-track schedule, meaning that it is open year round with short numerous breaks throughout the year. The school contains 3,300 students in attendance year round and being that the school is lacking in funds and hindering the students from following their dreams, this is very impactful on a large amount of people beause it lacks also preparation for college. In the article, “Fremont High School”, Jonathan Kozol examines the conditions of Fremont High School from the perspective of the students, and teachers alike. He uses statistics that have been submitted to the courts during depositions and student recounts of activity. Jonathan Kozol uses persuasive techniques such as ethos, logos, and pathos in the article, “Fremont High School”, to persuade the audience, members of society, that they can help by providing funds, because of the lack of funding it has caused a disservice to the students, causing students to struggle with following their dreams.

This shows that the girl’s mother is determined to get her daughter into this specific school only, however, she gets denied since they live out of the boundary. Despite the fact that she did not get her daughter to go to the school that she wanted, the mother does not give up and heads to Walker-Jones. She is given forms to fill out, except she is illiterate and cannot fill it out herself. Nonetheless, the mother doesn’t let this stop her and instead, asks a volunteer at the registration desk to help her. She says: “‘I can’t read it. I don’t know how to read or write, and I’m askin’ you to help me’” (60). This also proves that just because she is uneducated, she will still get her daughter an education, even if it means having to be admit her illiteracy in front of her daughter.

On September 4th, 1957, Governor Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard to Little Rock Central High school, preventing any of the Little Rock Nine from entering Central High. Elizabeth Eckford was the only student that went to school on this day because of a lack of communication with the other students. She arrived at the school alone and was antagonized by the angry mob. “At first she felt reassured when she saw the troops, whom she assumed were there to protect her…When she tried to squeeze past a guard, ‘He raised his bayonet, and then the other guards moved in.’” One can only imagine what Eckford felt like, being completely alone in a mob of people screaming “Lynch her!”, only to realize the people you thought were there to protect you were actually not. The students finally were able to enter the school on September 23rd, 1957. But the fight was not over. The Little Rock Nine continued to face extreme harassment, both physical and verbal. Melba Pattillo recounted many of these incidents in her book, Warriors Don’t Cry. One that stuck out the most was when she recounted going to bathroom, the one place her guard could not join her, and having girls “scratch and giggle” outside the door. She writes, “ I promised myself I would drink less water so I wouldn’t have to take that risk so often.” Her stories of the vulgar language and the harassment when the guard was or wasn’t around, shows the extreme condition she faced trying to make a charge for her generation. She compares her experience in Central High to being soldier, just trying to survive. Another factor that created this environment for the Little Rock Nine was the lack of discipline of students by teachers. Pattillo writes about how her friend Minnijean Brown had faith in school officials, faith that they would step in. “She continued to count on them to respond with compassion to

Merriam-Webster (2015) defines a nurse practitioner (NP) as ?a nurse who is qualified through advanced training to assume some of the duties and responsibilities formerly assumed only by a physician.? The NP is a direct care provider that provides a plethora of services ranging from primary prevention to disease management. For example, the NP has authority to monitor and alter drug therapies and order diagnostic tests.

At the beginning of her journey she had problems with the mobs outside of Central High School, yelling, threatening words and telling her to go home. “Two, four, six, eight, we ain’t gonna integrate! Over and over, the words rang out. The terrifying frenzy of the crowd was building like steam in an erupting volcano (36).” Melba

Jones contrasted the attitude of the daughter to the attitude of the mother. After they got rejected from the wrong school. The girl was worried that she could not go to school. She said “Mama, I can’t go to school?” (Jones, 1990’s, p. 1). After she said that, her mother replied, “One monkey don’t stop no show” (Jones, 1990’s, p.1). This shows that a parent will have a positive attitude and will keep trying for their kid no matter how many obstacles that will come in the way. The child is just worried that they might not be able to do something. There is a difference between the different schools that they go and check out. The first school that they mother wants the girl to go to, Seaton Elementary School, is not as big as the other school, which is Walker-Jones. The girl likes Walker-Jones because it is newer and it is larger. The mom does not really like it because it is not by the church that she goes to and it’s not the school she wanted her daughter to go to (Jones, 1990’s, p.1). But the mom deals with it because it is the school that her daughter can gto to. This shows that even though a parent may not agree with the school that their child has to go to, they deal with it because they just want the child to go to school and get an education. When they went to Seaton Elementary School, and they got rejected, the mother said, “I want her to go here” “If I’da wanted her someplace else, I’da took her there” (Jones, 1990’s, p. 1). This just shows that a parent

The students all took a practice test and only thirty-three percent of the students have passed and the states minimum average is seventy-five percent. Throughout the school year, the students work effortlessly with Mr. Clark along with their school teachers prepare for the real test. Mr. Clark’s crazy and wild antics start to get to the students and they begin to respect him even more for it. They begin to see that he is only doing this with all of their best interests in mind. One of the students who was expelled’s mother complained about the way Mr. Clark ran things at his school and got the mayor involved. After Mr. Clark is found with the chains on the door, which is illegal and a fire safety hazard, and was arrested. All of the students came down to the Board of Education in Paterson and basically protested and ranted on how they wanted Mr. Clark to be released and return to his duties as principal. Eastside High’s assistant principal Mrs. Barrett claims that Mr. Clark was not the right choice to serve as principal of Eastside. But the students all say in rebuttal how Mr. Clark cares for them like no other and how he has done so much good for them that they will not accept anyone besides Mr. Clark. Soon after, Mr. Clark was released and good news was received. More than enough students

In school there are many groups that can be identified within the film. It is interesting to see how five students who are all in different social groups came together at the end despite these differences. In the film, the students all get dropped off at the school to attend a Saturday detention all for various reasons. The characters in the detention were Allison Reynolds, John Bender, Claire Standish, Brian Johnson, and Andrew

This is a true story based on inner city kids that whom live in the projects living the most difficult lives. These kids struggle every single day… living in poverty/homelessness, lack of educational skills, and were a part of gang and domestic violence. They were taught that all police and white people were bad because they were the people who arrested them or their family (people of their same kind). They didn’t believe in giving respect to teacher because she was white. They wanted respect and in order to gain respect it was more than just the color of your skin.

The positive benefits that the teacher’s children might want to realized as a result of her beliefs are pull out were using methods that were used in a general education class. Se wanted to teach them to be able to learn what the other kids are learning in general education class. This teacher said, “ pull out the class as a club, a safe place where kids can escape, from the pressure they can experience the rest of the day.” To me, I feel like this is a good idea. When I was in elementary school and in middle school I was a part of the pull out system. By me getting pulled out it helped me understand the material and be bale to pass the test. Without the pullout system, I do not know where I will be today.

Imagine losing a job you have had for 20 years all because of a ninth grade student who was creating a disturbance in your class and told a bunch of lies. In the book, Nothing but the Truth, Philip Malloy is a ninth grade student at Harrison High School. During morning announcements the national anthem is played and Philip hummed along with it even though they are supposed to stand in a respectful silence. After he did it the second and third times he was sent to the office by his homeroom teacher, Miss Narwin, and suspended for causing a disturbance. When he told reporters what happened the word got out quickly. In the end miss Narwin got fired in an attempt to save the school budget and Philip moved to a new school. Philip Malloy is to blame

Illegal drugs are inevitable and are not going anywhere no matter how hard the United States fights. Reforming the United States War on Drugs would strategically bring money into the states and deplete the bank accounts of the drug lords. The United States abandon the prohibition on drugs and allow the government to control the shipment, production and distribution of drugs recommends The Latin American Caribbean. (Francis, J. N., & Mauser, G. A., 2011) If the United States Federal Government controlled the market place and brought in massive amounts of sources for taxes brining in a vast amount of money. By utilizing this strategy and approach the United States Federal Government would have a start to ending the war on drugs.

Through out the movie you see difficulties that the students are trying to finally fit to be part of the system but they still may not be accepted because of their classes. With low achieving school, have a suspicious amount of high test scores the reliability and dependability are questioned. Conflict theory is used that the struggle in society and schools between the haves and have nots. For example, not funding for computer, not having computers, no air conditioning for summer and less opportunities for students in general. The school is portrayed as a place where students do not want to be or care about being in school. The staff don’t care about the students especially they gave up on them. There is a quote that I got from the movie, that Mr. Escalante was asking the math department for calculus

The storyline of the movie takes place between 1992-1995. Beginning with scenes from the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. Hilary Swank plays the role of Erin Gruwell, a new, excited schoolteacher who leaves the safety of her hometown, Newport Beach, to teach at Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, a formerly high achieving school which has recently had an integration program put in place. Her enthusiasm is quickly challenged when she realizes that her classes are all "at-risk" students, also known as "un-teachable", and not the eager students she was expecting. The students segregate themselves into racial groups in the classroom, fights break out, and eventually most
