Less than a dozen students were actually eating something.<\/li>\n<li>Dozen students were roughhousing nearby<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Interactions:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Was hanging out in the cafeteria with Macey Ginzer, who is also a freshman and is deeply involved in sports like Jackson. The two are close teammates, as Macey is the quarterback who sees Jackson, the wide receiver, as his \u201cgo-to guy\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>His basketball coach interrupted the interview, and managed to persuade him to drop trying out for baseball this season. Wanted him to focus on basketball so he can develop into a varsity player, rather than playing JV for three different sports. Coach wants him to follow his father\u2019s footsteps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Notable comments:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being an athlete doesn\u2019t automatically keep you from being involved with the Fine Arts programs on campus. Jackson is definitely interested in dance, singing, and acting. While he identifies sports as the most important activity in his life, fine arts comes as a close second.<\/li>\n<li>Teachers have been somewhat detached with his development; Jackson suffered from a concussion earlier last season and had to miss several days of school, but never received extra help to help get back on track. Ended up struggling with the course and drop down to a subpar GPA.<\/li>\n<li>The LGBTQ community is a factor in a lot of reasons why people he knew is transferring of Clay. The transfer students are not necessarily homophobic, but LGBT students often bully others and pester others. Clay is also commonly considered to be a \u201cgay school\u201d according to other research.<\/li>\n<li>Jackson doesn\u2019t feel safe walking down certain parts of the campus. However, he\u2019s learned which parts to avoid or how to defuse a situation whenever he\u2019s approached by someone he doesn\u2019t know, based on experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>Key Insights<\/u>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sports do have some pull power when it comes to deciding schools, like it did in Jackson and his father\u2019s case. But athletes can also be intrigued and motivated by other quality programs, like fine arts, despite the stereotypes that might counter this idea.<\/li>\n<li>There should be a test on how much quality teachers bring to their students. Jackson believes that a lot of students transfer out because they don\u2019t feel attended to and begin to dislike their teachers. Jackson was grateful when one of his teachers did help him out during his injury, so being able to engage and support students in situations is a key way to retain those enrolled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-657\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/innovation-and-design-thinking\/files\/2017\/03\/Screenshot_20170306-001517.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"477\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethnographic Summary Jackson Jones Quick Bio: Freshman at Clay High School.
