Valerie commented on the post, The path of Immigration
I like how you started the blog with a Barack Obama quote since he was the most impactful president in my opinion. Something you should do is when you are citing in your context to not write .com since it’s misleading. Also, check your spelling since it was confusing to know what words you meant to say. I hope to see more work about immigration.

Valerie commented on the post, Does Music Truly Benefit Oakland Schools ?
I agree with your thesis because music really does help people destress. This school is overly stressful in general so music will help us calm down. Even though we do have an after school music class, it would be nice for an ACTUAL music class that goes more in depth. I really like your article and the words you chose to put in it. I hope to see…Read More

Dear Valerie,
Your blog really summarized all the negative effects on students caused by OUSD. One of my favorite lines was were you stated that food cuts also affects families. It stood out to me because it shows that students aren’t the only ones affected and it makes the problem bigger. You did a great job!!

Thank you so much for reading my blog. The part of your comment that stood out to me was when you said OUSD is affecting everyone and not only students. A question I have for you is, do you think there is a bigger problem that needs to get more attention? Look forward to hearing back!

Dear Valerie
I am very thankful for you contributing to the youth voices community with your great blog!
Your writing really stood out to me because you wrote some very convincing arguments that I also agree with. For example, one sentence you wrote that stood out for me is, “This is clearly showing that not only is it affecting the students but it is also affecting their family” I think this is true because if the system isn’t making the students happy then it wouldn’t make their parents happy either. Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I wrote a letter to OUSD telling them to also improve their lunch system as an assignment in the 5th grade. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I really enjoyed reading this post and I know that the following posts will be just as great.
Thank you, Marleni. -
I understand what you are saying but I believe this blog is not showing judgement. OUSD has been known for being in debt for over a decade and they do absolutely nothing to raise awareness. Currently, the OUSD teachers are planning on going on strike because of the district. Also, they had millions of dollars funded to them by the state, yet they suddenly lost the $30 million dollars funded. I personally think that you should search more on OUSD since I did my research. Here is a link and I hope you stand in solidarity with OUSD. Please leave me a reply so I can know what you think now about the district.

Dear Valerie,
Your blog was amazing! You really brought out your own opinions on this topic. I agree with the OUSD raising awareness because some of our parents don’t know about this and if they advertised families taht school lunch is a problem it could have kids having a school day w/o being hungry. Thank you for writing this! Good job.
Sincerely,
Imelda
