...In “Still Separate Still Unequal” Kozol visits a school in Harlem and he talked to a little girl to get an insight on how they thought, “I asked her if she thought America truly did not “have room” for her or other children of her race. “Think of it this way, if people all of a sudden found us all missing they’d feel relieved” (Kozol 174). This shows that kids feel they are being thrown away, they don't have hope for the future because they just feel neglected. The mindset the kids in these areas are showing is very negative, this leads to kids being in the streets. Living that lifestyle that they are portrayed to be. It is not their fault in reality. It is the governments, setting them up negatively with nobody but their parents and themselves to help. Another example follows, “Come into an urban school and the teacher will want to be referred as a classroom manager while in the suburbs they want to be labeled as a teacher” (Kozol 186). This is a big claim in the way teachers look at their career based off the area they work. In the suburbs teachers look at themselves as educators, they want to help the kids succeed and show them they can do anything challenging as long as you work and strive for it. While...

Manufactured in the United States of America. 2 1 f e 0 9 d c 8 7 b a For information, write: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 75 Arlington Street, Boston, MA 02116 (617-399-4000) ISBN-10: 0–312–44705–1 ISBN-13: 978–0–312–44705–2 Instructors who have adopted Rereading America, Seventh Edition, as a textbook for a course are authorized to duplicate portions of this manual for their students. Preface This isn’t really a teacher’s manual, not, at least, in the sense of a catechism of questions and correct answers and interpretations. Because the questions provided after each selection in Rereading America are meant to stimulate dialogue and debate — to generate rather than terminate discourse — they rarely lend themselves to a single appropriate response. So, while we’ll try to clarify what we had in mind when framing a few of the knottier questions, we won’t be offering you a list of “right” answers. Instead, regard this manual as your personal support group. Since the publication of the first edition, we’ve had the chance to learn from the experiences of hundreds of instructors nationwide, and we’d like to use this manual as a forum where we can share some of their concerns, suggestions, experiments, and hints. We’ll begin with a roundtable on issues you’ll probably want to address before you meet your class. In the first section of this manual, we’ll discuss approaches to...
