I Never realized there were so many interactions within a system that all rely on each other to make a Middle School function well and prosper. When this chapter mentioned that a school system can’t go half way, or implement one type of change that this system recommends I began to notice just how intricate the 7 parts to the system are. I really agree with the fact that parents and community must be involved within the system in order for students to get it full benefits. I feel that without involving the community or parents in their child’s learning, students tend to start keeping what they learned at school, just at school. The community world, and the school world become two separate places for students. By incorporating the community and as much parent involvement in the students education processes, I feel that students have a better chance at succeeding because they support system at home is not only linked with their support system at school, but students also can implement the skills they are learning at school in the community. I also found it interesting that changing classroom practices was described to be the hardest part of this system to change. I am curious to see what ways are mentioned at helping teachers reach out and practice better ways of teaching their students.
