    Praxis 2: Leading Communities of Practice

    In 1954, the United States Supreme Court ruled that public schools operating under the legal concept of “Separate but Equal” were operating unconstitutionally. In the fifty years since that ruling special population groups that should have benefited from that ruling still experience pubic schools that are widely inefficient and ineffective. The school organizations who typically experience the problems associated with the poor implementation of the Brown Decision are urban public schools. Often when schools districts initiate reform, this systematic change takes the form of funding and program sponsorship to elementary level learners, however when students reach secondary they still face challenges associated with poor funding and program sponsorship. My central research questions is; what would happen if we viewed secondary education (grades 6-12) as a separate entity deserving of its own program and funding considerations.…

    Jonathan Kozol

    I am reviewing Jonathan Kozol’s auto-biography, Death at an Early Age. This piece of literature provides the reader with an in-depth, personable account of schools of the 1960’s and the corruption that had flourished. Throughout this piece Kozol told of grim stories about public schools throughout Boston, Massachusetts; many of which would be incredibly disturbing. I believe Kozol’s thesis was the following: although legal segregation had been abolished in 1954, (Brown v Board) socio-economic segregation was still in full effect over ten years later. Or in other words, even though segregation had come to an end, African Americans were still denied fundamental rights, including an education.…

    Cosby's Sacrifice

    Race affects children in ways that many do not notice, happening both on a conscious and subconscious level. To find an example of how race affects a child of color one doesn't have to look far, just turn on their television and look at the news. There are many cases every week about how a child of color is affected due to their color. Each time an African-American child loses his/her father to jail or death that is directly affecting the child. Yes, this happens to children of all races, but specifically in America “African Americans now constitute nearly 1 million of the total 2.3 million incarcerated population” and “African Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the rate of whites” which is a huge a discrepancy (NAACP). In a less noticeable fashion the education system is against non-white students. Most students would agree they focus more in a class if they feel a connection with their teacher, but the problem with that connection is that many students lack that connection due to race. Linda Darling-Hammond said “that the quality of instruction given to African-American students was, on average, much lower than that given white students, thus creating a racial gap in aggregate achievement at the end of first grade” in her essay Unequal opportunity: Race and education. This achievement gap only becomes larger and larger leading to “35% of black children [in] grades 7-12 [being] suspended or…

    Domino Effect Of Segregation In Schools

    The issue of segregation in the school system affects many people, especially the students. Segregation in schools effects many different interest groups including schools, teachers, and parents but the most important are the people who are actively learning in these environments. Students. As a current student, the idea of feeling segregated due to my social class and living environment would be very hurtful and should be unacceptable in today’s society. The “domino effect” can be used to describe today’s segregation.…

    Educational Gerrymandering Sociology

    Marc Aronson writes, “Blacks were hungry to learn once slavery was abolished. In the brief period of Reconstruction after the war, when blacks controlled state governments in the South, they established the systems of public education of all that exist to this day” (Aronson, 2007, p. 166). This quote from Race shows that blacks had a need to learn, to become more educated, and they did all they could do, to acquire that intelligence. This quote also shows that if blacks were given the opportunity to perform important jobs, they would do it well, because the systems they set up at the time are still used today. In addition, Aronson also wrote, “After whites had made sure that the Blair Bill, which paid for educating the blacks failed, the whites had succeeded in neglecting blacks. More than half of blacks in the South could not read, while eighty to ninety percent of whites could. Having made sure blacks could not learn, whites passed new laws that said you could vote only if you could read and explain a passage to the satisfaction of a local official” (Aronson, 2007, p. 167). Not only is this quote mentioning racism by making blacks unintelligible enough to not have the ability to vote, but it shows the beginning of gerrymandering educational districts. By changing the boundaries of schools, blacks could not…

    Brown V Board Of Education Essay

    The Supreme Court case, Brown v Board of Education, greatly influenced the direction of the U.S constitution with the addition of the 14th amendment that made great progress with our education system. Once slavery was abolished in January 31st, 1865, many African American’s thought that there would be no more racism happening in the world. Sadly, things didn’t work as the African American’s thought it would. The case Plessy vs Ferguson said even though the two races were separate, they were equal. The phrase, “separate but equal” , meant that places that were public will be divided by the race. For example, if you were white, you wouldn’t be able to go to the same bathroom as an African American man. Also, African Americans were not able to…

    Impact Of Sequestration On Education

    For over a year, budget cuts known as the sequester have been taking place in the United States. It has affected nearly all government funded departments and programs. Because of rising national debt, budgeting programs wisely is becoming increasingly important. However, sequestration is unwise because it requires departments to make extreme, unnecessary, and ill-considered cuts within their budgets. Among the departments taking the hardest cuts are the Department of Defense and the Department of Education.…

    American Education In The 1800s

    Despite this new opportunity, racial inequality prohibited equal advancement. The common school reform failed to address the growing issues of racial exclusion, and segregation of schools prevailed. Law prevented black students from attending public schools, so black students relied on donations and their own resources (10/15/17). Even when black schools were established, restrictions and racist propaganda prevented equal opportunities. The American Missionary Association, a group of northern white missionaries, intervened in the education of freed blacks by propelling their own agenda on the students (Self-Taught, 131).…

    Children In American Schools

    While watching the video “Children in American Schools”, there were a lot of things that I found very surprising. Since here at Elida High School we have such a nice, clean environment to learn in, I couldn’t imagine trying to learn in the conditions some of those students were. I couldn’t believe there were schools with holes in the walls, water all over the floor, roof leaks, and still run off of coal. It’s really dangerous to have kids in these conditions, as they usually aren’t very careful as it is and someone could get hurt. If I was in that position, I would feel as if they didn’t really care about my education if they don’t care to give me a safe or clean place to receive it.…

    The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America

    For The Shame of the Nation, Kozol constructed 5 years worth of preliminary research upon writing his book. He visited 60 schools in 30 different districts, and 11 various states. What he found proves to be disappointing. Schools today are in worse conditions than they were in the desegregation era. Schools where there are predominantly blacks and Hispanics are not properly funded and overcrowded. Standardized tests are set for students to fail, due to lack of resources in these schools.…
