“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences," -Audre Lorde We continue to focus on one style of reading meanwhile there are so many different styles of reading. Why not be more accepting of differences versus finding a million ways to teach one reading style.

Equity is a big component of reading. If schools are not funded equally how do parents have faith that these wonderful programs will reach their schools.

Fire 🔥

I have to say, hearing you all has given me and will give others a huge boost in (sorry I’m listening to you all as I type) education in all areas. Thank you for being “non-textbook”, so to speak - being you. Our next generation is more important than ever - A.I. is here. I hope what you all do spreads like wildfire here and other states. (ai education act) 🔥🔥 😀

mmmm yes i'd say through my 4 different schools, he's been the best and most relaxed music teacher

I STARTED learning things about the the brutal dimensions of slavery in the U.S. and the whole world, the holocausts and other atrocities visited upon all people black, white, Asian, Hispanic etc when I was about 10 years old. It sparked an interest in history in general of which I found the very good of human history and the very worst of mankind. I processed it rationally and maintained a great optimism for the future. Never did any of this enlightenment cause me to project negatively on all the different types of people throughout my life without reasonable cause.

funny that i legit was there when it happened

Did you know that WWII Black veterans and descendants are STILL not allowed GI bill benefits? There is a bill in the house to change this. Authentic CRT seeks to uncover and remedy these inequities causes by systemic racism.

Hello, please outline for viewers what exactly is being protested. We (Community) wants to know if we want to join in on this movement but need details

Charter schools don't have to follow the same guidelines like public schools do. Parents, teachers & students are supposed to be more involved and accountable for their achievements.......

Is this a NSA teacher?

Follow along here for translated comments from the panel's Priscila Ramirez and Blanca Maria Madrid: Minute 6:00-7:23 Hello, good afternoon, my name is Blanca Madrid. I am co-founder of an early childhood program called the Piñata of Learning, in this program we serve families who have children ages 0 to 5 years old around the Denver metro area, including Montbello. I have lived here in Montbello for over 10 years. I am passionate about community work. I believe that creating solutions to the needs of our neighborhood is very important. It's very important, that's why I'm here proudly on the NPA team. And who are we NPA? Well, we are immigrants or we are children of immigrants with a large part of... like a large part of the United States. We are many cultures together, a diverse and resilient community. We are extremely local, but we are also very international. We are simple dreamers who come to build a future for our families, we are parents, students, teachers, and organizers. We are a group that fights racism, violence, ignorance, gangs, and most of all, we are a group that promotes equity. I would love to introduce each one of my colleagues and have them introduce themselves individually, thank you Dede and especially one of our panelists who is here today, Priscila Ramirez. Thank you. Minute 9:00-13:21 Priscila Ramirez: Hi, good evening Ann, good evening everyone and thank you for being here with us tonight. Specifically on my son's education...it's been a very difficult road to deal with so far. Because since we started, we started identifying that he had a communication problem, he didn't speak what other kids his age were speaking. He didn't have that flow of language. So this led us down a totally unknown path, because there was no one to guide us to know what special education was. One of the things that has worked well; is that thanks to the system from the beginning of his school years, he began to have speech therapy intervention. Unfortunately, after many years and different schools we saw that he wasn't learning, he wasn't learning because the learning system or the curriculum that is followed in most schools is not functional for children with dyslexia. We found that last year he was diagnosed with dyslexia because, after years and years of struggling with the fact that he wasn't learning, that he was behind, that he wasn't at grade level, that he wasn't reading at grade level; I decided to start doing more research and look at what options my son had. Not just what the school was offering me. Through that, we got him evaluated by Children's Hospital and that's where we found out that he has dyslexia. Obviously the curriculum that is taught in regular schools, which is based on balanced literacy education doesn't work for a dyslexic brain. So, what we've done since then is we've been able to get a person, a therapist to come in and do therapies at home and he has the support of the school as far as speech therapy. So far it's worked, but unfortunately in the Denver Public Schools and in the charter schools, like the Charter Schools, we don't have specific therapy or we don't have the equity that every child needs to be educated. Equality is practiced for everyone and they are served, but they don't equitably receive the services that they really need. So, as a parent, it's been one of the biggest concerns for me because I know that my child is not the only one that has special needs and they're not being met by the school. I think functionally we've learned a lot and through the experience we've been able to guide other parents. But unfortunately, I know that he's already at a grade level that the next grade level he's going to have to read to learn and he's still at a disadvantage that he's not reading at grade level yet. And it's concerning to me as a parent, because I know that under statistics most prison systems are based on the reading levels that second and third graders have. So, thinking ahead, I want to see my son fulfilled and practicing what he likes to do with a good education. I don't want to visualize my son getting into trouble in the prison system just because he didn't have the support to learn to read. Minute 27:59-29:50 Priscila Ramirez: My only advice would be: You know your children better than anyone else. Culturally we are used to teachers or professors having more knowledge than we do academically. But, as their parents we know them and we know more about them than anyone. If we have any doubt that something is not right with our kids and then we go to school - they will usually tell you that everything is fine, he's going to catch up, everything is going to get better; I say that's a bad sign. Because if a child is already behind, it's going to be very difficult for him next year to catch up. So my only advice is: Look for yourselves. Search for yourselves, try to search for all the resources that are available. If the language barrier makes it difficult for you, look for someone for help, whether it's the school, a teacher, a neighbor, someone who does community work. Because unfortunately in the district we don't have advocates who can help. Sadly, I think it's almost one of the districts that doesn't have people who are dedicated to advocating for the special needs of children. So, if there is no one to do it, let's do it ourselves. As parents let's be the best advocates for our children, let's not let someone else come in and do our job. Minute 51:35-54:09 Priscila Ramirez: I don't think anything has been done. Unfortunately, with the pandemic it just exacerbated the problem that already existed. Personally with parents who were close to me, I was able to give them some direction as to where or what they could do? But the children that don't have the opportunity or don't have the facility to... not for lack of interest, but maybe because their parents don't know how to do it, they don't have any possibility. I don't know, they don't have any help. They keep going and going from year to year, having the same problem and it gets even worse each time. Unfortunately, this is one of the situations that Montbello is going through. As I said before, we don't have a regularized advocacy system to help the child that may or may not have a family member to advocate for them, and there is definitely someone to advocate for them. But maybe it's not because the family doesn't want to, it's because they don't know how to do it. Because it's a very difficult path for all families. There is no guide to identify from the moment you start to realize that there are problems in the linguistic development of your child. There is no guidance that tells you after such-and-such a step and such-and-such a step follows such-and-such a step. There's no guidance from the district, there's no guidance from the teachers, you're thrown into the ring. So sadly, it was one of the things that we realized is happening here in Montbello that was more acute with the pandemic. And it's something that we want to recognize so that, by recognizing it, change can be made. We can no longer go through the blindfold of saying "it's not happening because we don't know". Now we know it exists. Now, whether or not the child has family representation, I think it would be very important so that the child can be given the help that is needed.

yooo this is jared from gompers if somebody from gompers respond i would be very happy

The main reason why parents are responsible for keeping updated numbers and contact information with the school so they can be reached or notified. Having worked for a school district I can say that is a big problem when things occur at times.
