People need to understand, Educating your children begins AT HOME. This so called "New Black Family" where as there is no father in the home, send their kids to school WITH OUT Educating them. The child then return home to a latch key environment. (If their lucky.) Or, to a home full of Stupid Under aged Parents. Where as The "Mother" is only 12 to 14 years older than the student. With nothing more than an 8th grade Education. Yet, Black America tolerates it. It's the "Parents" who are at fault.
I know all to well about this sort of bull shit. My high school had Asbestos, computers 4 years behind that we weren't even allowed to use, history textbooks at least a decade out of date, and god forbid you try to go to the library on your lunch hour. I had to SNEAK INTO THE FUCKING LIBRARY on my lunch hour just to read a goddamn book for leisure. I'm glad I was born black so that I'm not jaded about how things in the USA sooo are great. Fuck this country and fuck white people.
that was so stupid the white kid is in the dumbest classes possible that any fool could get a's in, omgosh look at that waste of money for real. no school should have some absurd class called 'tech theater'. and he like brags of 'advanced placement literature' that and gov are possibly the easiest of classes possible that you can actually learn something from. how about raise the education standards. its not AP its NORMAL. and normal is not normal its for the MENTALLY CHALLENGED.
@THEGLASSOFMILK2 its important to have a diversity of subjects in school, even things that sound frivolous like tech theater, because its just something fun and keeps kids interested and thinking. Making school fun and interesting is part of the solution to keeping kids in school and getting more money for programs. AP classes are a HUGE indicator of privilege because they are college courses. The more there are the more you can see how important getting kids to college is.
@THEGLASSOFMILK2 Its not a waste of money if there is a high graduation rate and a high % of kids going on to college. AP classes indicate planning for the future and getting ahead in college. My brother got 18 credits from AP classes towards college, which allowed him to skip the crap general ed courses and focus more on his major and more technical and useful courses. Its hard to get motivated if there is NOTHING to enjoy or look forward to in school, especially where the teachers have nothing
@wealthe0w Yes things like tech theater are a waste of money. If you feel you so rightly deserve that privilege while other kids like that black kid don't even have AP classes offered, you're wrong. Things like that you should have to PAY for. Your basic education is what should be paid for by taxpayers. So, all taxpayer money that goes to fund public schools should be allocated by school population size across the nation. That way that white kid and black kid would have = $ to their school.
@wealthe0w And AP classes are good that they give credits, obviously (I plan on using a ton), but honestly the AP standard is NORMAL. The normal classes seriously suck. There needs to be huge education reform.
@THEGLASSOFMILK2 I totally agree that the standard is normal. but motivation is also essential. teaching just the basics is where No Child Left Behind failed and teaching to the tests began. There is no good education without creativity. After school programs also help keep kids off the streets and give parents who work later in the day a chance to have more control over their kids after school activities.
@THEGLASSOFMILK2 Arts and tech courses provide projects that require applied analytical thinking and teamwork that solving math problems on a paper all day just wont do. Its something that kids can enjoy, yet also prepares them for the real world. Projects not filling out papers are what really help people succeed.
@wealthe0w You have the choice to go to tech or art school after high school (and for many schools during your last 2 years of high school) So...having them in hgih school is rubbish as high school should be preparing you for COLLEGE. And trust me colleges would rather see you had an A in calculus than "tech theater" lol
@THEGLASSOFMILK2 You fail to consider that higher education is not the only path in life; far from. High schools can prepare students for trades, the military, for participation in democratic society, to enter the workforce, the business world, etc.
@scimmfive No I do know that but that should not be a part of high school. I totally agree there should be separate technical or trade schools. NOT art schools though. That shiz is pointless and you can pay for that.
Keep in mind resources are just one part of the argument. When you have to go to schools in areas where you will robbed or jumped (like me and my younger brother), or shot at (like my younger brother was today) then you kind of lose the drive to learn. However, I'm in college working to get a bachelors degree then a JD/MBA at a prestigious law and business school.
Resources DO NOT MATTER, provided you have the bare essentials. Take notice that only success in education (the most important domain) is framed in terms of resources. You NEVER see an athlete, musician, etc. complaining about not having a driveway with a b-ball goal in it, or access to recording equipment during their childhood. In fact, the adversity they faced is often referenced as the driving force that lead to their success. Emphasizing disparities in resources is a mind-fuck on our youth.
@iramas1 What about students who aspire to become doctors or engineers? The chances of being successful as a rapper or musician are slim. Shouldn't people from low income neighborhoods be inspired to do more? I think you're missing the point of the video which is to show that higher income families have access to better educational resources which consequently help enhance a students intellect. These resources are withheld from low income schools, hence the inequality in public education.
@tishaUno I think you missed my point. The reality is, (brown) students in a number of underdeveloped countries, who have significantly inferior academic resources, are outperforming Black American students. Thus, the academic success of brown people is not a function of resources (again, provided you have the bare necessities)... Yes, more resources help make the ride easier, but I should not inevitably fail to reach my destination just because I have to ride a bike while you ride in a limo.
@iramas1 - It is always those WITH resources who try to tell others that resources don't matter. If they don't matter to you, then do without them for yourself.
@lovingit1000 Nice try, but not quite... You're talking to a Black man from the projects (til I was 13) with a graduate education... but let's stay off me & on subject. The simple fact is, Black schools won't receive more funding until Black people become more successful (considering that funding is primarily derived from local property taxes). That said, "we need more $ to succeed, but we need to succeed to get more $" is useless circular logic... We HAVE to do it with less resources.. or fail!
I wouldn't say the problem is ressource, but that brown & black parents are generally clueless about how the education system really works (choice of subjects & extra-curricular) & as a consequence rely on entirely on public schools & not enough on themselves, IMHO a terrible mistake as the curriculum & whole word method are terrible. See the books of Annette Lareau like "home advantage" for a better explaination.
@daralhikma1999 The book has little to offer... Try some up-to-date studies examining variables that impact educational outcomes. As for "how the education system really works"... well... it doesn't. Students engage in a number of inconsequential activities, that are only instrumental if their parents can afford to offer incentives. So, the poor kids don't waste their time, & the rest end up mathematically & logically devoid (relative to the rest of the world,.. but not the poor)
Public schools are only a part of the education system, white & asian parents know how to game the education system & they don't trust the public schools, even the best ones, to deliver, a large part of black & latino parents are simply not as savvy. Lareau's books have some shortcomings, but she's right on target with "concerted cultivation". Another book on "concerted cultivation" but more hands on, from an asian perspective is "top of the class" by Dr Soo Kim Abboud & Jane Kim.
@daralhikma1999 It seems more a by-product of social class than a strategic parenting practice. Such activities take time & $ that poor parents simply don't have, & while they may increase access & comfort in structured social situations, they offer little in terms of development of abstract thinking ability (higher order logic). You might as well correlate family ownership of luxury vehicles with students' academic & financial success... & conclude that Blacks should buy BMWs
While some extra curricular activities do require money, simple thing such as reading to your child, using whole sentence, limiting TV use do not require money or much time at all. I've seen too many people poor excuses because they didn't want the hassle to spend time with their children. All studies show that parental values have greater impact than money on children achievement, for example, homeschooling closes the racial learning gap.
1. You can't simply pick & choose the convenient subcomponents of a construct (concerted cultivation)
2. Please cite empirical studies that suggest that poor parents do not read to their children, use complete sentences, or limit TV time. I need methodology, not rhetoric
3. I've seen lazy parents too... That doesn't = all Black, Latino, or poor
4. Yes, many variables have a greater impact than socioeconomic status
Great Video. Life is about rich or poor flat out, it's about class. If you got good heredity meaning you got grandparent or parents who got a Substantial career with degrees, anyone life as a child would be like the white guy in this video. Poor Blacks, Whites and Hispanics have to understand that you are the generation that have to work to get out of the poverty cycle. Lets not only look at the school but the house the both young guys live in. I bet that will explain the problem.
such a great video I wish I could really see more of the two schools compared side by side, more information. Like the student body of each school. That would have given this video such a punch. But I still loved it as is and will be playing this in class as an example for socioecomonic differences. Thanks!
Yeah but institutions where people need equal standing should be funded primarily by the state and not by property taxes that varies tremendously from district to district.
These kids ask great questions! Who has the ears to actually listen what they are saying about the growing inequalities in America? Politicians certainly don't seem to care about the education of the kids who are left behind with their meaningless tests (an insult to the human spirit and the joy of learning)... kids who suppose to stay motivated in poverty have to compete with wealthy school kids and realize that they are set up against a huge disadvantage from the START.
