Education Animation!!!
LEARN: I have learned that there are many issues with the educational system in Modesto. The approach I chose to take on how to "fight crime" that is going on in schools is not to focus on the lack of money and funding, but to take what we do have and make the most out of it. What we do have are environments that are not adequate for positive learning environments. Children need to feel safe and not be worried about fitting in, being bullied, or being excepted in a learning environment.
ACT: I purpose that schools give a lot of focus to making the learning environment safe and productive. Budget cuts have caused the number of teachers to decrease which means less one on one time with the students so with time being limited I think that quality beats quantity. The quality of the school environment is corrupted when "bullies" make children fear coming to school and make then unable to focus while at school. I think that this problem is solved by getting the parents involved with speaking to their children about appropriate classroom behavior and having a "No Tolerance" policy when it comes to bullying. Harsh punishments resulting in privileges being taken away to enforce these rules. Children need to understand acceptance and that school needs to be full of positive reinforcement with revoked privileges if you put another students educational opportunities in jeopardy.
IMAGINE: With these actions in place I believe that one day schools everywhere will be positive and fun environments for kids to gets an education but also to make them better, more accepting and understanding people. Education is so important and when money and the amount of teachers and materials are lacking, we must make what we have the most positive and productive as possible. One day all children across the country will wish school would never end!

Origins of Super Jameson
Just your average teacher leaving his classroom one evening after a long day of enlightening high school seniors, Jameson heard a strange noise coming from the back on the building. He quickly hid in the shadows of the classroom wall and gently placed his ear against the wall to listen in on the conversation by the unexpected visitors. He overheard their plot to break into the school and steal the new computers from the computer lab next to his classroom. Jameson had never been the confrontational type but at this moment he knew he could not turn the other cheek and calling 911 would give the criminals time to get away with all of the school's newest prized possessions. Since it was a school he did not keep any weapons nearby but just in the nick of time he remembered that the school baseball team, which he coached, stored their team equipment in his classroom. He went over to the gear and chose to remove a baseball bat from a bag and he happened to choose the bat that hit the winning hit in their game earlier that day. He took a deep breath and hoped that the bat would bring a victory to the school just as it had in the game earlier that day. As he rushed around the corner with the "miracle bat" he caught the two thieves in the act, computers in hand, masks hiding their appearance. As Jameson raised the bat in preparation to defend himself and his school, the bat radiated electricity and gave quite the jolt to the two thieves. The jolt left them in shock on the floor at the feet of the brave teacher and he was able to call 911 and the thieves were taken away. Jameson didn't do anything more than raise his team's winning bat and it sent a shock that fought crime without even putting the bat to use. The bat is now used by every player on the baseball team and is kept in close proximity to Jameson when he stays late in the classroom.
Secret Identity!!
Hello, I'm Kacey and this is my super hero, Kennan. I created this super hero to be his alter ego because I wanted to switch it up and create a male super hero instead of a provocative female with a shiny leather suit and kick ass weapon, as I would have if I created an alter ego for myself. Kennan is a super hero in real life as well because he serves his country in the military. I guess it is not much of a secret identity if he carries on his super hero actions into his real life. I chose this name for his alter ego because it was the name of one of his favorite high school teachers. We have been together for over three years now and the picture above shows us in the subway station in New York. I am an art major with an interest in graphic design at CSU Stanislaus. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, a girlfriend, a cousin, a niece, and a teammate. We both spend our free time living life while taking little for granted and our home is our own little get away from the world. We will both continue to fight our own battles that life throws our way, but in a much different way than in a cape with a baseball bat, although after 12 years of playing softball, a bat was my own touch on Kennan's super hero alter ego!
