HIstory of American Education

Do you see support for English learners? Yes I feel that there is support for English learners in the school I am at. There are a handful of students where English is not their first language. The English learner students are pulled out of the classroom during a specific time to get the extra help they need. If it wasn't for the Brown v. Board of Education act and the No Child Left Behind act we would not see this in our schools today. 

What landmark decision does that come from? The Lau vs Nichols case lead to the Equal Educational Opportunites Act of 1974 where students were allowed the same educational opportunites; race, color, sex, or national origin no longer mattered.

What are you seeing in your service-learning experience that is a result of Brown v. Board? Because of Brown v. Board of education we now see diversity within our schools. In the classroom where I am doing my service learning we have quit the diverse classroom which is wonderful. The students all get along and race, color, sec, or national origin does not matter. All of the students in her classroom and in the school have equal educational rights. I can't imagine a school being any different but before the Brown v. Board of Education schools were very different.
