Ok, so I shouldn't care about talented students with a fukked up homelife? Nikkas say that teachers don't give a fukk about their students but when they express admiration for their student's intellect nikkas say dumb shyt like the above. You're a fukkin' dikkhead for that statement I don't play that shyt.

:camby:

I guess I had that comin,my bad sistah sometimes my jokes go too far but I don't mean no harm I apologize:whoa:...all joking aside keep going and dont quit cuz we do need teachers who give a damn....I never understood how they try to teach everybody the exact same way when they know everybody learns differently....how they teach people from different backgrounds and uprbringing the exact same shyt as if they wont have different challenges and different things they will need to learn:what:...school for me just got to a point where I was like "okay now why am I learning all this extra shyt:rudy:"....school was easy for me up until about sophomore year,i had a good memory I was always a good reader and had a good vocabulary....I can do addition,subtraction,multipy in my head very nicely even though I didn't like it:obama:...but after a certain point I didn't understand why I needed to learn that ol extra high powered math shyt so I tuned out and got lost:mindblown:...nikkas don't even know wtf a engineer is or know you need math for computer shyt....they don't even bother telling you why you need to learn it,its just "so you can graduate:skip:"....I coulda told you I wasn't interested in a math related field,science related field before you made me take physics and all the other bullshyt math courses I talked and slept through:mjlol:....or they coulda bothered tellin me how good the money is if I learned and what jobs I can get and maybe I woulda been interested:whoo:...but since that never happened they wasted my time and the teachers time:stopitslime:


Yeah I probably shoulda just learned the bullshyt just to learn it,but I felt like I learned what I need to know and checked the fukk out sophomore year:camby:....so I ended up lookin like a failure and disgrace and bad student despite my first 9 years as a student where I did well:sadcam:...really can make a kid doubt they intelligence and believe you just a dumbass and lazy....I cant blame teachers for thinkin that based on my demeanor though,my mama heard about my grades and basically decided that was the problem too:heh:...that's basically what we are taught by society if ya kid getting bad grades they dumb or lazy,we don't even question the system....probably too complex to overhaul the shyt though,exactly why im thinking about homeschooling at some point. Or maybe ill just explain to my daughter WHY she needs to learn. most parents cant because they didn't know they damn self when they were forced to learn it....not every kid goes for the "JUST DO IT" shyt.

In general school really isn't there to teach you to learn as much as it's there to teach you obedience and following orders.

Well see that's where the L comes from for me. :heh:

I am half mexican... and while I got a solid B on the subject... my dad was sorta :scusthov:

I mean I understood at the time he had to work the graveyard, but he could have taught me some of the stuff earlier in life :wtb:

thats the same thing that still bothers me til this day, both my parents know spanish but never taught it to me as a kid and then through high school and college took classes and got either b's or c's and the give me that look of :beli: and im like :yeshrug: you could of taught it to me as a child i wouldnt of been in this situation

Cursive doesn't do anything for anybody.

Its good to have good penmanship cause if you cant use electronics gotta learn how to write your name or documents cause this whole only relying on electronics is dumbing people down by the minute, shyts ridiculous having a 20 year old with a signature of a 4 year old

You can have good penmanship without ever writing in cursive.

This sounds a lot like my little brother (not blood related)

Dude is about to turn 17 & a junior in HS barely catching up. His father died a couple years ago & he moved to another state. I dont know if he's still messed up after the death of his father but he's just fukking up academically. Hes at risk of failing HS. He has no insentive & has no clue what he wants to do with his life. He's so bright & self aware but just incredibly lazy.

Hes telling me his uncle (who he's staying with) is telling him he should join the military. I KNOW there is a better alternative.

I don't know what to say to him, I'm not good with teens- I'm not too much older to be sounding so wise. What can I suggest ? I really don't want him to be another kid who "fell through the cracks"

Tell him about trade school or something of that sort.

First off, thank you for the apology. No one who works in education and is worth their salt would like a joke like that breh. Let me clarify. I'm not looking to completely leave the field, but I realize how important it is to have people of color be involved in the decision making. Sure we need minorities on the front lines. Its good for the kids. However, teachers are pretty much powerless brehs. We have no real say on how to conduct our classrooms. The only way to change that is for us to get into high level positions and administration. We are woefully underrepresented in that realm. Trust me, its full of trust fund 23 year olds. What the hell does a 23 year old rich white cat know about schools in the hood? On what planet should someone like that be driving policy making that will impact those schools? :mindblown:

You make good points and it does to point to the fact that the system needs to be overhauled.

I always said public education is the death of intellect and creativeness...kids can't cultivate their best abilities and are forced to learn memorization techniques and not learning by critical thinking or exploring..that's why I want to home school my kids and also send them to private schools...i know this couple that they let their child learn what he wants and home schools him..if he likes science and history than they focus on that ..and he's doing good..

He's a cac so I disagree with 100% of everything he says. We need an alternative education, but not one where whites are involved :camby:

Our problem isn't about creativity. Our problem is having our children learn from a curriculum that does nothing to teach them how to operate within a system that's been designed for them to fail and never succeed.

Am I wrong though :usure:. Our issue with education has never been not being able to be creative. It's been do we get adequate funding for our schools (basic shyt like having books and heat in the winter which my school didn't even have). It's been about us getting mistreated by white teachers who'll call us ******s and say they if they had 10 days to live they'd kill every black person on the planet.

Our children face racism and white supremacy the second they step into these schools, and nothing is being done to protect or shield them because these cacs have no desire to properly educate our children.
