it's 2022, why are schools still segregated ?
Schools are still segregated due to the surrounding neighborhoods, depending on what neighborhood you live depends on what school you go to. It's like redlining but for schools, means if you live in a poor neighborhood you go to underpaid school. Most black African American children don't get to experience a good education due to where they live, which makes the school segregated. I feel like there needs to be a change in the school system because children deserve proper education no matter where they live. I think that we need to start looking for ways that don’t segregate schools. My experience I school was good overall but there were times I felt segregated due to my race or financial status. I remember one time were all the African American students were getting called into an office to talk our free lunch ending, which meant our parents would have to provide us with money in our accounts to eat lunch. Some of our parents simply couldn't afford to give us money everyday for school lunch. which caused a big problem in the school.I think schools are segregated
because, the education system never had the chance to recover from being segregated
in the sixties. The school systems never got a chance to welcome other races
without them being forced into that school. I think schools are slowly trying to
fix the issues of segregated but don’t know how. I think if the school system come
together as a community they can learn how to fix the segregation issues and
become more successful in the end.
Hey Crystal!
ReplyDeleteI felt like you made a lot of very good valid points and stated a lot of facts. It is known that children in poor neighborhoods either go to jail, sell drugs or even worse sometimes because they drop out of school. Now if we look at why they dropout of school we see that it's because they aren't giving the children a good education because of the area it's in which is a poor area. All of this has happened to the majority of the children of color in some states because of the fact that money to better their schooling isn't a priority. This new age segregation in my opinion is almost as bad as the old age segregation and I feel like the government and states need to open their eyes to this and make a change.
Hey Rhyauna,
Deletethanks for feedback. I also agree with your comment about children who live in poor neighborhoods tend to either in up in jail or selling drugs. I also agree with you that this a new age of segregation, and if we don't do something about it could lead to more problems.
Hello Crystal! Your blog contained such good factual substance. I truly agree and feel you when you stated that schools are still segregated due to the education system not having the opportunity to recover from previous segregation. This very well could be true and I never put this into perspective. But I can certainly see this as an effect from that. Segregation within schooling is very much prevalent in today’s society and it is a very harsh reality. I too feel that they may be struggling with a fix to how they can integrate but it is something that must be done. Our children deserve to have a fair and equal right to education.
