I dnt wanna sound ignorant but what are charter schools? It's been a lot of talk bout them on here and in Miami lately..
Lol u funny bruh...bt really the issue of education is a big topic...we need more ideas before we decide who's right or wrong...I do what I can![]()
If you want to read about a hot mess, look up Deion Sanders and his charter schools in Texas.
Look man I don't disagree with your narrative of young individuals needing to work hard, in order to see the rewards of success, because they could be given far worse predicaments to live under with even less resources and infrastructure, I get it, but...Lol u funny bruh...bt really the issue of education is a big topic...we need more ideas before we decide who's right or wrong...
While dats a good idea with the charter schools...I think focusing on that is ignoring the core problems...black kids (mostly boys) just dnt value education that much...it's not "cool" to be smart in the black community..ironically black women attend college more than any other demographic bt yet they get with those bad ass kids who shun school thus giving more black boys the ideas that you have to be bad to get some girls...my whole point is if the kids dnt wanna learn they won't...we have to change our mindset then worry bout funding n stuff...the mindset change have to start at the house...
Dats a tough task...charter schools are up against a school system dats over 100 years old...it's hard to convince people to change when they dnt necessarily see a problem dat needs to be changed...I for one dnt think our public school system is that bad...I've seen others (immigrants like my self) do way more with less...the focus still has to be on the students...a fancy building with ipads to replace books wont mean nothing if the kids dnt wanna learn...dats the core problem dat we cnt move on from till it's solved...I agree totally that it starts at home, but the point is what we changed the school curriculum and the changed the way the school functions to compensate for my receiving the proper guidance at home
Charter schools don't represent extra funding they represent the opportunity to change schools completely and run them in a different way
So what's your solution?Look man I don't disagree with your narrative of young individuals needing to work hard, in order to see the rewards of success, because they could be given far worse predicaments to live under with even less resources and infrastructure, I get it, but...
All I am gonna say is that it is in the bible belt, rural south and there are even places MUCH worse than the area my sociology teacher is at. Infact, the other surrounding areas are much more conservative and racist.
You damn near have to live within relatively large cities in the bible belt if you aren't white or a republican to escape the bigotry and rampant segregation. So many rednecks and nearly every white person is a republican in the rural south.
I grew up in the city and even though it wasn't "We Are The World" in terms of racial harmony, there were a lot more cohabitation and interaction between races than I noticed when I left to go to college. It was not unusual to see an Asian family, hispanic family, black family and white family live on the same exact street without anyone noticing growing up for me. I wouldn't say racism didn't exist but it was VERY difficult to lead a racist lifestyle and stick to your own kind. That shyt simply doesn't exist in the rural south and people would often "stick to their own kind" when going to school, choosing housing, making friends, etc.
I even had to break up with one white girl after she told me if her mom ever caught wind she was dating interracially she would be CUT OFF permanently from her entire family. Her parents were even sketchy about her hanging around black people too. Her family was from a small rural town. Sad world brehs...![]()
