    In this book, written by Johnathan Kohl, we are given a rare and candid glimpse inside the educational system in the city of Boston in the 1960’s. As Kohl describes the treatment that minority students endured at the hands of their teachers, it becomes clear that the title of the book is an accurate depiction of the times. As we read about teachers calling students terrible names and treating minority students with contempt and disgust, it is apparent how the spirit of the students were slowly dying inside. Although this was over fifty years ago, this type of treatment still occurs everyday in schools all over the nation. Whether a child be a minority race, have a learning disability or have behavior issues, it is not uncommon for them to be treated in a way that negatively effects their self esteem, causes them to dislike school and eventually, little by little, takes away their hope. No child should be left hopeless. Everyone needs something to be proud of, whether it be one small talent they possess or just one person who believes in and respects them. It is the job of a teacher to build a child’s self-esteem and self-respect and above all, their hope for the future. Without hope, a child will not aspire or dream. There must be procedures in place to ensure that teachers know what is and isn’t acceptable in terms of interacting with children. I have experienced this first hand in my personal life. My son has Asperger’s syndrome. He can be difficult to handle. Because he misreads social cues he wold often misunderstand what his teachers were asking him and answer incorrectly. He repeatedly told me that his teacher yelled at him and didn’t like him. He wouldn’t even tell them when he was sick because he didn’t want to make them angry. One of his teachers screamed at him so loud at the end of the school day that he was literally shaking when he arrived home. I understood their frustration but I didn’t…

    It’s been over a decade since Nikki Giovanni wrote “Campus Racism 101,” but sadly the issues have not dissipated with time. In fact, these issues have evolved into something that affects all social groups; not just minority groups. While racism as a whole is still thriving, it has recently been accompanied by stereotypically induced prejudice; stereotypes are persistent in every social group. From stereotyped communities to minorities in collage and the campus itself, to hate crimes and television’s advertisement of stereotypes, it is obvious that Nikki Giovanni’s arguments are still very much valid and most importantly, ignored.…

    g discrimination is really challenging. With this knowledge some people choose not to address discrimination when it happens, because is complicated to persuade people to join a cause when they have different beliefs. But is time to end discrimination in schools, to speak up and take action. Is time for everyone to stand together for a better future for the youth. The United States claim “ The American public education system is open and accessible to all, regardless of race and ethnicity, immigration or social economic status”(Rebecca L. case, fall 2002). But still the academic achievement gap between non- minority students and students of color still continue. Minority students are constantly faced with many obstacles on their way…

    G/l/b adolescents have the difficult psychological task of identity formulation and consolidation within the confines of a primarily heterosexist or even homophobic school climate. G/l/b individuals often experience feelings of isolation and stigmatization due to their sexual orientation (Nichols, 1999). As a result, g/l/b youth are considered a high-risk group. These youth are more likely to attempt suicide, engage in substance abuse and risky sexual behavior, struggle with depression and/or anxiety, and possess lower self-esteem than their heterosexual peers (Bagley & Temblay, 2000; Slater, 1988). It is of immense importance that school professionals address the issue of homosexuality. This may be done through the establishment of non-discrimination policies, education of students and staff, direct intervention with perpetrators of harassment and discrimination, and most importantly, support for students exploring their sexuality and those targeted for harassment and intimidation.…

    Future of Education

    Equal Opportunity has been an important facet of our society in America, particularly since Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his well-known speech, “I have a dream,” to our nation on August 28, 1963 (Historybits: Exploring True History). There have been many social programs started in order to make changes in equal opportunities, such as cultural education, cross-culture discourse and the present-day, multi-culturalism. The majority of these social programs have been unsuccessful when one realizes that a vast amount of America’s youth have to attend schools that are overcrowded, short-staffed, and lack the basic necessities for successful learning (Kozol, 1991). My vision for public education is: Equality for All Students, regardless of their social status, race, gender, or minority.This essay will discuss the inequalities in education in the areas listed below:…
