Three questions for Learners

Kimo is bringing 3 students from WCO Highschool who will talk and answer questions. We are to prepare 3 questions (for each??)

Vivian

  1. (find best example of an affluent city)Think of talking with a girl your age from Cupertino. What would she be like? Describe her.
  2. I am reading this question from my website, and later I will write my thoughts about this class and it is publicly available. Thoughts?(Does it threaten you, does it intrude. is it a good opportunity? would you ever visit it? thoughts on web?)

Benny

  1. Do you know Cupertino? Have you been there? What are people like that are from there?
  2. I am reading this question from my website, and later I will write my thoughts about this class and it is publicly available. Thoughts?(Does it threaten you, does it intrude. is it a good opportunity? would you ever visit it? thoughts on web?)

Ramon

  1. Talk about "real world" for me as a senior. Does that have any significance to you? Do you feel like the Ed system has prepared you for the "real world"?
  2. Do you know Cupertino? Have you been there? What are people like that are from there?
  3. I am reading this question from my website, and later I will write my thoughts about this class and it is publicly available. Thoughts?(Does it threaten you, does it intrude. is it a good opportunity? would you ever visit it? thoughts on web?)

Reflection

I asked the question about how they feel about electives and the arts being neglected in schools. Would it matter? how?
photo class. they don't have many electives. no shop, no cooking.
ramon won a contest from a los gatos foundatuion for a photo. he feels good about it. electives are for kids who are perfect.

they are much more mature than I expected.
behavior modification class: learning how to talk to teachers, learning about themselves.
they think math is most relevant to their future.

asked about drugs and how often then encounter them. They were very sheepish about the question answering it in front of Kimo. They are very scared about them and they said they know it isn't the right path. drugs are an everyday thing for them. drugs are abused.

these kids seem to be good people and sociable and able to think for them selves. sounds like this is the type of kid that gets hung up in the system
