The symbolic start of the modern civil rights movement is the 1954 Supreme Court decision of Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka Kansas. Linda Brown, only seven years old, had to walk a half-mile through a railroad switchyard to catch a bus that would take her to school. There was a school only seven blocks from her home. However, it was an all-white school, and African-American children like Linda Brown went to segregated schools. With the help of the NAACP, her father and other parents challenged the laws that segregated schools by race. They argued that the separate facilities were inherently unequal and a violation of the 14th Amendment, which promises equal protection under the law for all citizens.
Thurgood Marshall, an NAACP lawyer in the Brown case, argued to the Supreme Court that segregated schools were unequal, denying rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, and had a detrimental effect on the development of African American children. The Supreme Court agreed and stated that segregated schools around the country needed to be integrated "with all deliberate speed." Seventeen states had legally segregated schools. Although many districts complied with the decision, there were protests and resistance to integration in others.

A large, angry mob gathered outside of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in protest of desegregation on September 4, 1957. Nine African American teenagers, who became known as the Little Rock Nine, walked forward through the turbulent crowd facing threats and violence. President Eisenhower had to send federal troops to enforce desegregation weeks after school started. The Little Rock Nine dealt with harassment the entire time they attended Central High. The Governor of Arkansas, who was against desegregation, closed the city's high schools for a whole year to prevent further integration and unrest among the people. Eventually, he was forced to reopen the schools and the process continued slowly, as it did throughout the South and some northern communities.
It took nearly 20 years to integrate the public schools, though even today many school districts still struggle to meet the ruling's intent.

A car is traveling at 60 mph and is tailgating another car at distance of only 30 ft. If the reaction time of the tailgater is 0.5 seconds (time between seeing the brake lights of the car ahead flash and hitting the brake), how far will his car travel during his reaction time, and is he likely to hit the car in
front of him?
#MSC2018
We will need to convert the 60 miles per hour to feet per second.
Since there are 5280 ft. in 1 mile, 60 miles would be 60 x 5280 ft. = 316800 ft.
So the car travels 316800 ft in 1 hour.
There are 60 minutes in one hour and 60 seconds in 1 minute.
So 1 hour = 60 minutes, and 60 minutes = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds.
So the car is traveling 316800 ft in 3600 seconds.
To find the number of ft per sec, we can divide 316800 ft by 3600 sec.
316800 ft ÷ 3600 sec = 88 ft. per sec. So at 60 mph he is traveling 88 ft. per second.

“We know so much about the optimal learning strategies that students can be taught to make major differences to their enjoyment, involvement, motivation, and
outcomes. But there are few teacher friendly resources that bring these ideas into one place. Bold School is this resource, and
needs to be an essential part of every educator’s toolbox.”

Comfort, Learning, & Danger Zones...
Fear is REAL!
Sooner or later, you have to just go for it.
In a research setting at Bucknell University in 2015, only 23% of college aged students could conduct what was considered a reasonably well-executed internet search.
In the same study, when internet research failed to yield meaningful
results, only 10% knew how to narrow their search criteria in Google.
In a study of college students at the University of Illinois in 2014,
more than 30% of students could not accurately identify the function of the ‘bcc’ button in email.
