The Mis-Education of The Negro - Chapter 1 The Seat of The Trouble(excerpt)
Continue the Understanding and Overstanding of The Mis-Education of the Negro:
What did you gain from the midterm discussion on the book and how does this information support your reflective thought as an educational leader?
From reading Chapter 9 of The Mis-Education of the Negro and the discussion we had tonight as a class, it really affected my thinking and started me to analyze all my interactions with past individuals. In my trip down memory lane, I became very angry when I thought about certain situations and how revel ant chapter 9 is still in 2011. When you think about chapter nine and all the truths uncovered you start to understand better were the blame should be placed. The blame can no longer be placed on the White Man and what he made us do , or how he held us back … No , the finger has to be pointed at the individual , as we are in control of our destiny and we should never let any “MAN” tell us what we can be or where we are going. African American’s can no longer blame anyone for his or her misfortune or strife. We as a people have to analyze further why we are subjected to certain things and why do we continue to put ourselves in situations that we know will turn out wrong and not in our favor. Taking responsibility for self is the first step in becoming responsible. After reading chapter 9 and applying it to my life, it really made me appreciate Standard 5. Leaders must promote success in ourselves and our communities by acting with integrity, fairness, and ethically and never conforming to what other’s want us to be. We should never sell ourselves for a title or more money because this makes us a traducer and allows other has to feel they have power over us and our communities. As a leader and educator I think the below items are essential in to have when working with communities and families of those you are teaching, ELCC Standard 4.
• Critical thinking • Communication • Collaboration • Creativity
There appears to be the an awakening in this class and your contributions are glowing and contribute to the universal growth of the learning communities.
