Last week, my sources were a blog post from NPR: Code Switch, and a section of the book Freakonomics that talks about my subject (the difference in education between lower-class and upper-class children, specifically) and how it related to economics. This week, I spent most of my time thinking about what my actual project would consist of. Prospects include (I have done at least a bit of research on each of these):
- Volunteering at a neighborhood school in a neighborhood of disadvantaged kids.
- Volunteering at a charter school that takes in many disadvantaged kids.
- Donating books (from neighbors, friends, family and myself) and other school supplies (my old ones) to schools and kids.
I'm leaning towards donation right now, but am also looking for other options that could help me contribute in different ways.
I think all would be good solutions. One thing I would think about is what is the cause of th eproblem that you are examining and how your specific solution would address this specific cause.
