During book tvs recent visit to San Bernardino, we spoke with Margaret Hill about her 30 year year career about an educator in the city. In the early 70s when i started teaching, students were aware that it was important for them to get an education and get a high school diploma. I dont think ive ever met a student who did not want an education. I know i met a lot of students that felt the way i did when i was a student and that was that not too many people cared and im not talking about parents or sibling but im talking about those working in the school environment. I think students in the 70s felt the same way i feel. Some of of them just feel they dont fit in. Because we arent them they fit in, we are telling them how important they are. We are telling them of theirs drink. We arent telling them of their forefathers who did it and if they can do it we can do it also. It affects them a lot more than the people at the holly are level relies. Even with me sometimes, i do things that i know have not been good. Im thankful that people trust me enough that they can say what they want to to me. Let me give an example of what we do to our students and not realize. When i was a principal of an alternative high school, i had a man come up to me one day and he said to me, ms. Hell, i have seen you give a lot of students complements. Youve never given me one. I thought about that and he was right. I knew i hadnt given him one because he reminded me of that. Otherwise life wouldve been the same and he wouldve graduated from high school knowing i didnt really care from him. I thought about it and i said hes right and i have to give him a compliment and i have to give it to him soon. I have to have an audience. Believe it or not, he had on a yellowed checkered shirt. It was a beautiful shirt. I knew i had to find something i could complement him on. I didnt know is going to come so soon. I waited all day long and didnt say a thing to him. At the end of the day when he was leaving as you do, he was leaving school and i yelled his name and he turned around and gives me those look like what have i done now that you dont like. I yelled, i waited until he got halfway across the parking lot so i could yell at him and i yelled at him and i said i like that shirt youre wearing today. That is really a goodlooking shirt. He smiled and said thank you and walked on. I was glad that that was an immediate fix. A lot of students dont share what they share feel about us. Maybe two or three school board meetings, we had had a young man come in and he had come in and surveyed his students on his campus. Most of his students felt no one cared about them. Thats a tremendous bit on a young person. They have to know we care. You have to know we care. Do i think on a federal level we are doing enough for our students . I dont think they think we would ever do enough. Anytime you have less than 0 of students students being successful, we are not doing enough. Funding is afforded to all. I have a say in my district that the scenario that i always use his students see schools like they see grandmas. You have have two grandmothers, one is cooking broccoli and one is baking cookies. Which place are you going . Its the same thing with school. If theyre making cookies and were cooking broccoli, where are they going . The thing is, is, will begin to make some cookies now so we see some Charter Schools returning. The bottom line is, everybody searches for the best for their children. I am a supporter of public schools. Ive worked in them and i know the accomplishments. I know there are some students who do not quite make up. I know many students to make it, but as far as funding is concerned, im glad theres funding for both. I think what people need to do is not look at the academic side as to put a child and Charter Schools because what that does many times, and and many times people take a look at test scores which bothers me tremendously. As an educator i probably should not say that, but it does. Schools and test scores do not define students. Students defined students. I think where we accept them and take them where they are we need to be proud of where theyre going, where they are in their success. I know a millionaire who never graduated from high school. He would probably score in the bottom two percentile on a standardized test. I also know students who have graduated with great reading scores and great test scores and their working in jobs that are menial. I think we need to take a look at individuals and use all kind of assessments. Im not saying test assessment isnt good, but its not the total thing that we should look at for our young people. We can fix this. Its very simple. All we have to do is appreciate everybody for every day that god gives them the strength to get up and get out and go to school.
