The current school system as a whole is getting better, but still needs improvement. Overall when you include everyone and brainstorm ideas to build better schools, they have to also reflect the community as well. School should be a safe heaven for all student but also for the community as a whole. Including more input from a students prospective helps, however meeting the needs outside of the classroom helps even more and can develop what I consider a "Whole Child" Intersectionality is very important when teaching a population of black and brown children. The more they can see what "we did" the more then can see themselves in a positive light to push forward.

I've been apart of Baltimore City Public Schools since I was in pre-K. There has not been much change. There are still situations where students feel unsafe and bring weapons to school and students feel unsafe because weapons were brought to schools.
My experience with Baltimore City Public Schools has been a non-existing one, it seems that voices of students and sometime teachers are not heard. Learning in an environment where heat or air-conditioning or even safe drinking water isn't a priority for some city schools officials bothers me. Compared to other students across the state of Maryland, I feel as though I am not as prepared as I could be. I will say one thing I learned from Baltimore City Public Schools is how to handle difficult situations.
