Today in class we talked about what makes a school urban. I think for a school to be considered urban it needs to be diverse. By diverse I mean different ethnicities, races, and incomes. The high school I went to was extremely diverse. We had students who lived in mansions and students who lived in small apartments. We had more ethnicites than could be counted. The only thing we had in common was that we were all in the same age group. I think New Jersey overall is a pretty diverse state, more so than others anyway.
Another discussion we had was about the headline on birth control being given in a middle school. I think that it should only be given if there is a history of young pregnancies or at least the risk of them. Parents should be educating their children on birth control and STD's, but I also think that on some level schools are responsible as well because students do spend a lot of time there with their peers.
