This whole week has been full of restless nights and sickness! I wake up each morning with loose joints and an aching back. 🙂 It’s a good sign, though, because that means that the baby is getting bigger. I had another appointment this last week, and everything is going really well. Next time I go in, I have to drink a really sugary glucose drink so they can test my blood sugar levels! I’ve heard that it tastes like non-frozen otter pops, so here’s hoping!

As for homework and readings this week, I worked really hard to read them all. As I read, I realized that there is a correlation going on between material I read for one class, and the class discussion in another class of mine, History. In my Special Education course, I was reading about issues that caused education to get so much better for those who are disabled. Parents saw that their children could be getting better care, and they petitioned for it. In my History class, we just talked about how the government gets complaints about certain issues, and when it comes up enough, they do something about it. This sometimes includes passing laws. It also includes Supreme Court rulings.

This brings me to what I learned about the case Brown v. Board of Education. I learned about this case back in AP Government, my senior year in high school. We learned that it was the case that ruled that education was not “separate but equal.” It ruled that there should be no separation of any particular group of people. At the time, I understood that group of people to mean African Americans. Now, after reading the chapter for my SPED class, I understand that it really meant any group of people should never be discriminated against. Because of this ruling, that statement against separation and discrimination was applied to those with disabilities.

That’s all I can write for today. It has been a long but rewarding week. Until next time!
