... a PHYSICAL copy of your "access map" to class on Tuesday, so we can compare notes in small groups.

Hello everyone! I'm Jia.

My educational map is inside the attachment.

One or the Other

I grew up in a middle class home with a family who believed that I was destined to be great. With that set predisposition, I was placed on an assembly line of the public education system and before I knew it I was already separated from the other students. My ideas were in more demand than the others and I was marketed to the adult audience as gifted unlike all the other kids who were marketed to their fellow classmates as cool. Luckily, my parents didn’t neglect my artistic side and I didn’t have a problem with making friends unlike all the other nerds. Once again, I was separated from another group of students and I began to be a rare commodity. But I wasn’t the only one transforming; the environment around me was too. Every time I moved onto the next level of education, the student body became more diverse. When I reached high school, all the products of Battle Creek Public Schools collided with each other. We were then packaged and labeled over the four years. This was our last stop before we were all shipped out to the colleges and jobs. 

Everyone -

In my map in addition to the road I have taken, I include possible alternates and other elements (in my youth) that affect my education. I hope it isn't too confusing.

Hi everyone!  I'm new to serendip, but as we talked about yesterday in class, I've uploaded my map of education.  I added it as an attachment to this post, so I'm pretty sure you'll have to click it if you want to see it.  If there is anything you can't read or have questions about, feel free to ask :)!

As you map your "access to education" this weekend, look to
