THE DISASTER IN HAITI
My name is Mark and my partner and I are working on a blog. This post is about Haiti and what happen to them. I am glad that us Americans decided to help Haiti when in need. Although we helped them many people still say that the the United states has to help them in order for us to still be the United states. I wonder if that is true that if we are just helping them because we feel bad or if it is obligatory. Many other people say that it is out of the kindness of they're hearts but I still wonder if they are just saying that.

OUR AMAZING SUMMARY
One thing I notice that we do as human beings is that we repeat many things over and over again. we start different beefs or problems but we do it with the same type of people . I noticed this because we used to use Africans as slaves and then that stopped but then we started treating them badly again by segregating them from us.Then after a while integration happened in schools. Still in our time we still got racism and many people have hatred for blacks but I guess we cannot make everyone happy without making one person or one group of people unhappy. I think that we as humans should respect everyone but everyone thinks alike.

MOST UPSETTING TO US
Hi my partner J.b and I are writing an assignment on what is most upsetting to us . About these gaps between blacks,Latinos,whites & Asians. As we search for more achievement gaps we found out that the was most upsetting to us is that high school graduates live up to 7 years longer than high school dropouts that was upsetting to us because its true and when people dropout its either a black or a Latino. See J.b and I are black and Latino we know the blacks and Latinos can be as good as any other race only if we stop the things we do and if we try harder to beat the Stero types people put 0n us. Let us give you some examples fighting, gangs and all the above if we can stop all that then we can do anything.
ACHIEVEMENT GAP
Hi my name is JB. My partner and I are working on a blog. Our blog is about achievement gaps. Achievement gaps are gap that whites ,blacks ,Latinos and Asians have. See people believe that black and Latino students are 2-3 times more likely to have below basic skills in reading and math.In the 4th grade black and Latino students are on average nearly 3 years behind their white & Asian students these are some gaps whites and Asians, Latinos, and blacks had . As you are reading our blog you can tell whites and Asians were more advanced than blacks & Latinos.
