@TheJLV

This post is about the Twitter user Jose Vilson. He is a teacher from New York that posts about education and social inequality. He often posts about the inequality of "bad" schools and "good" schools. He emphasizes that this divide in quality of schools comes down to funding. He offers some solutions to problem such as fundraising, but recognizes that the solution will probably come from a higher source. What Mr. Vilson posts about is an area I have a lot of passion about. The fact that income inequality gets worse every year is maybe the most difficult problem America faces. Mr. Vilson also recently was featured on a NPR article about what makes a great teacher. NPR Article This article is great for aspiring teachers preparing to go into education. I learned a lot about what to expect and what to emulate when I get my first classroom.
