The Wisconsin Schools project allowed us to take a look at an area where that we may not be familiar with. Along with this, we get to understand specific things such as the demographic of the area, the amount of students in comparison to staff/teachers, and many more important things. Looking at an area like Milwaukee, where there is such a great diversity of people can really change these numbers. Along with this, it makes some of these variables more difficult to find. One of my favorite parts of this project was seeing the student to teacher ratios. Some of these amount might surprise you seeing how some school can have far more students yet the same amount of teachers.

The most valuable thing I learned from the Wisconsin Schools Project was that everyone is in a different situation, but the schools will make it work for the children. Each school we looked at and will look at throughout the semester will do whatever is best for the students. This is because the staff understand that the world doesn’t revolve around themselves, and that they are there for a reason bigger than themselves.
