Research topic and it's lack of awareness within classrooms

For my research topic I chose to study human trafficking and how common it is, yet how it is extremely underestimated and undermined, and little attention is brought to it, especially in classrooms. I think that trafficking awareness should be brought to schools because even though it is a sensitive topic, the majority of targets are young females, meaning that if more of our young females are taught in school what to do in a situation like that, then the number of trafficking causes is likely to go down.

Distractions from School

Image
Distractions and lack of motivation are what keep me from completing assignments on time. Sometimes a new video will come out on Youtube or a new season will come out on Netflix. I get tempted to watch during my work time, then I end up doing that instead of homework. I think this happens with a lot of kids also since most of them have phones now. The internet is full of distractions that kids cant avoid. My lack of motivation although comes from too much homework and having to deal with a job at the same time. Children don't have to worry about hour-long homework assignments from each class or when they have to go into work. They only get a 30-minute worksheet they have to finish in like 2 days. I would love to go back with the same knowledge I have now, I would pass elementary school with no problem. We all have to learn though and elementary school is part of this process.

Wisdom From me to You

Image
For my great-grandchildren reading this, years from now, I want them to know that it'll be okay. Life is hard and full of unpleasant surprises from the day you're born till the day you die. Don't spend your life thinking about those moments. Spend your life appreciating the good things that have happened to you. I wish I learned that sooner which is why I'm writing this right now. For you. If you live the rest of your life looking back, you'll be stuck in the past. These moments make you the person you are today. Life shouldn't be about regretting your past decisions, it should be about learning from them and trying not to repeat them. If you do, that's fine, you have your whole life to correct yourself and become the person you want to be.

Achievement and Opportunity Gap in the Classroom

Image
The achievement and opportunity gap is shown in our classrooms every day. Many may not notice but colored individuals feel like a minority in the classroom which makes it harder for them speak up in class and ask questions when theyre afraid of being judged for not knowing the answer. Well at least thats how I feel. This is most shown in advanced classes, such as my LA class, the majority of the class is white and nobody seems to want to talk to me. Because of the achievement gap colored students arent as likely to get into an advanced class, and even if they do theyre still treated as a minority. Making us work harder for our place in the classroom.
