There was also Sam’s employer at the coffee shop who was just his employer and maybe not aware of what Sam was really facing in day to day life. I feel Sam would have benefited from an advocate and support from when Lucy’s mother decided that having a baby and being with Sam was not her life and she didn’t want a baby. Sam was left to raise Lucy with only a few meaningful people in his life. Most of these meaningful people had disabilities themselves. Things maybe could have been prevented if help was provided before Lucy was born.
McPhee also proves that even though thieves are abundant throughout the farmers market, there are still honest people present in the community. This essay is the story of everyday life at a New York farmer’s market. He immediately starts the essay with a pickpocket.

They could have found other ways in order to have prevented this from happening as in not giving your 8th grade child a cell phone.

This girl clearly had no remorse for what she had done, and what great harm she brought upon Margarite.

Not many people stop to question if the information they are reading or being taught is factual. While the events Loewen points out may have some discrepancies in US History lower-learning textbooks; this does not mean all textbooks are incorrect. If anyone were to research any single US historical event he would end up finding out information he may have not been privy to through textbooks. Keep in mind, to incorporate every detail into one United States (US) History textbook is an unfathomable task. Students wouldn’t be able to carry the textbook and it would take years for teachers to deliver them information to him.
I’ve learnt that these children do not have patience or respect, while I was trying to teach they a story they were squirming round like pigs. I’ve also learnt to not prejudice about the different type of people in this town, and that some folks can’t afford to even have any lunch!

I then told her, “no, I just don’t like to wait in line.” Everyone was speechless and seemed to me that they didn’t know what to say, because I should know that nobody likes to wait in line. By this time I was done and they where not happy with me. Although it didn’t take me long to checkout it was the fact that the norm is to wait your turn even though there are no signs posted or laws, we know as a social community that this is what we do. Since I violated this norm, from my observations, people where upset not because I took up a lot of time, but because it wasn’t what we as a community accept as a proper way to act. If we didn’t have this norm there would be no social order at the stores.
Courses like home economics, entrepreneurship ,and accounting should be mandatory. Not everyone has a mom that will teach them how to cook or do laundry or a dad that can teach them how to do taxes or fix a flat tire, so these life skills should be available to us in school. The curricular system that's currently being used is outdated, just like the textbooks we "learn" from. Decades ago school was a place people wanted to go, they yearned for knowledge. The curriculum that was being taught matched the jobs that that era needed.
