Cherise-
I found your reflection 1 to be very interesting because I am at Cburg Middle, and teach the students that are sent up your way to Cburg High. That’s great to hear that you feel like you fit in at your high school and that it reminds you of your own at home. It sounds like it reminds me a little of mine too, if you take away about 700 students and the racial confederate flag problem (So I guess the classic Southern part is the same). I also think it is interesting how the SES of the Cburg area (middle to lower) is much lower than the Bburg area (middle to upper). Cburg and Bburg are very close in location to each other, but the SES is greatly varied and just goes to show how much of a “melting pot” as Erica called it, this area is. It sounds like you are really excited about your placement though and I hope you have a great time!

Alyson,
Thanks for reading my blog! It is really interesting how C'burg is so different from B'burg, but they are so close to each other. I'm really interested to see how the kids change going to BMS next semester, not only because of the age, but I feel their different backgrounds will also have an effect. I wonder if there would be more of a push for success instilled in them being so close to Tech, and having more of their parents working at the college. At CHS the kids are very apathetic about grades and success. You seriously have to ask sometimes if they want to graduate with their friends. I'm excited about my new placement, but will definitely miss CHS.
