EDUC 497 Puerto Rico: Reflections on the Pride of the People

http://lcheezpr.blogspot.com/2009/08/reflections-of-pride-of-people.html

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico. Friday, August 7, 2009. Reflections on the Pride of the People. It was extremely evident that the people of Puerto Rico take great pride in their identity. They are Puerto Rican, not Hispanic, not Latino, and would not check those two choices on the census. They take great pride in displaying the flag of Puerto Rico, and we saw it often in our travels. Saturday, August 8, 2009 at 9:14:00 AM EDT. Going along with your comment about how prideful they are with their identity, I find it...

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico: Day Two

http://lcheezpr.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-two.html

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico. Tuesday, August 4, 2009. We left early today to visit El Yunque, the rain forest located about 1.5 hours from our university. El Yunque is part of the US Park Service system, and is a national forest. It is on the list of finalists for the New Seven Wonders of the World. The paths were windy and sometimes steep, but they were paved and therefore easy to walk. It was awesome to be inside the forest, to experience the sounds of nature, the greenery, the immense size of some trees.

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico: The trip to Puerto Rico

http://lcheezpr.blogspot.com/2009/08/trip-to-puerto-rico.html

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico. Sunday, August 2, 2009. The trip to Puerto Rico. The day began in high spirits, not to be dampened by the sprinkles of rain. However, by the time we arrived at BWI, severe weather had closed the airports in Philadelphia, NY, and other East Coast spots. During our wait time, we tried to find possible alternates to San Juan, but all seats on several airlines were booked for the next day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Goodbye, Puerto Rico.

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico: Reflections on Politics in PR

http://lcheezpr.blogspot.com/2009/08/reflections-on-politics-in-pr.html

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico. Friday, August 7, 2009. Reflections on Politics in PR. Politics in this commonwealth influences every part of life. A new governor was elected in January. This government is in favor of statehood, though this issue is not popular with many of the citizens. They are not certain that the taxes they will need to pay will outweigh the benefits they have now. Politics are also involved in the area of La Perla, which we visited yesterday. This neighborhood occupies a small but beautif...

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico: Day Four, School Visitation

http://lcheezpr.blogspot.com/2009/08/day-four-school-visitation.html

EDUC 497 Puerto Rico. Thursday, August 6, 2009. Day Four, School Visitation. The schools in Puerto Rico have a delayed opening until next week, so that a plan for dealing with the H1N1 virus could be developed. So today, when we visited Abraham Lincoln School in Old San Juan, we were not able to see students. We did have time to talk with teachers, and it was a wonderful opportunity to share views and information. The school building was old, but nicely decorated for the coming year. The English teacher ...
