Analysis of Kozol

A better analysis will be posted later, when I have received money to buy the book. But so far, in class his aspect on inner city school's sound's very terrifying with teachers who don't care about teaching making a connection with their student's. There is the exception of the one choir teacher who sings gospel songs with them. She gives them a sense of values, god's helping hand, and hope. I had a teacher similar like this Terry Miller. He was a interesting character very religious and science teacher. My class had no values or hope in life, most of the kids took the class thinking it would be easy it didn't turn out that way. Mr. Miller asked the class why we came to school, what we wanted to find out from our high school career. We did allot of critical thinking in the astronomy class we had most students still slept in class or didn't show up to class. Mr. Miller did change some students but not all it was nice to see a teacher trying to reach out to make a difference. That's what the school Kozol talked about was missing they needed more teacher's like the choir teacher. I'm more privileged to have many teacher's that helped their students giving hope you can do anything you set your mind to and pushing you to exceeded the thought of your best. It may be because I didn't live in a inner city school were violence happens daily and having a school with poor conditions.
