 Raine Beausoleil

Hi! My name is Raine Beausoleil. I’m 22, and lived in Rhode Island my whole life. I have 2 dogs and three cats. I also have a tattoo for one of my cats, Luna. I’m very into anything alternative. Whether it’s music, fashion, really anything. I like to diy my own clothes and accessories, a majority have been modified by me in some way. My favorite movies right now is Repo! The Genetic Opera, and Rocky Horror Picture Show. I also really like gothic and fantasy literature. My major is secondary English education. My favorite band right now is My Chemical Romance and they have been since 2019. I have a tattoo for one of their songs, The Kids From Yesterday. Which is from my favorite album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. I would really like to get more fantasy themed tattoos. My dream is to get a fairy themed sleeve on my right arm.

We’ve done a lot of meaningful things this semester. I loved having an open dialogue with everyone. I hope the conversations we’ve had impact your teaching careers in good ways and we can all make some sort of change in the world. Not only did our conversations help impact me but so did the media we used to learn this semester. The first thing to come to mind is precious knowledge. This documentary impacted me deeply. Not only did it show how our biases can effect children but how we as teachers have a duty to do right but our students. It shows how it goes deeper than what we do in the classroom, but how we can fight for our kids to have better. I think that’s something very important for teachers to understand. The next thing to come to mind is the film Teach Us All. Again, another film about how biases are doing a disservice to children. Seeing this film made me think about how I can hopefully help my students with their success and how to consider their living situations. As we...

One interesting thing in this reading was the school not dancing around disability. I think it does a great job of not only destigmatizing it. As someone who is autistic whenever someone dances around it, it feels like they see the word autism as an insult. It also feels like they don’t recognize its negative impact on my life. To me it often doesn’t feel like a “superpower” it just feels like a disability. Which isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing, to me it’s neutral. To me, it’s a fact of life. This also affects kids because then they don’t know how to deal with someone who has a disability. In my schools, we never had inclusion classrooms. Disabled kids often weren’t even in the same art or music classes. From what I remember this led to disabled students often being treated badly by my classmates. I think if we did have them it would’ve helped a lot with the treatment of disabled classmates. I also think it would’ve helped with my understanding of myself as an autistic ...

"Without question, it would have pleased me to hear my teachers address me in Spanish when I entered the classroom. I would have felt much less afraid. I would have trusted them and responded with ease. But I would have delayed-for how long postponed?-having to learn the language of public society." What I got most from this reading is the way language affects identity. I only speak English so I haven’t thought about language this way. I think this reading really opened my eyes on what ESL learners are going through. Also, I think it’s interesting to call English the language of public society. Mostly everything is in English in public in the USA, the reason why I find it interesting is because there is no official federal language in America. Yet it’s treated like the only language people should speak in America, especially in public. A lot of Americans also don’t learn a second language. “But the special feeling of closeness at home was diminished by then. Gone was the ...
