NYC schools in no way are segregated. Like in prison culture, they seperate
themselves, and is apparent of what the posters are doing in this thread. I read threw this, trying to make sense of them. I am unable to. All I hear is the cries of a bunch of damaged people.
Why are schools have a differnt diversed nature?
For normal students, pass enough, go to the bigger schools. In these schools they have a scholors section, and special ED kids, in their own sections. That is a about segregated as it gets, in a normal highschool in NYC. However all schools that are within walking distance, are considered, zone school, which means you can attended it, no matter what your grade level is.
Most parents wants thier children to go to a good school. However they fear letting their children travel on the train and the bus. The reason why you might see a four seven year old, sitting on the edge of a platform is because, a parent are sending them to a specialized school, they think is better.
Take my highschool. Every morning I would walk to it, and their was many differnt kinds of people. But I would see students of one specific background, on a busline unrelated to my school go the opposite direction,
may it be north, east, south, or west.
My cousins school for example was a zone school. However it had many people not from where he lived.
Finally the root of the matter, people do segregate on purpose. Take all the Jewish students, going to a Russian, speaking school. I saw one kid ask "is this song, going to be in english?" and the instructor said "no this one is in Russian too". They have polish, and even austrian schools. The closest I imagined for an all Latin school is probably a Catoloic school. The same with Hatains, who are obviously outcasts, for years to come.
So if you are wondering why schools are failing, or looks like one race, it is because. Parents force their children to go to non-zone schools, and thus fund the MTA. People of other nations, live in ghetto's and wants that whatever exprience ( note the civil rights issues in hasidic communities ) for their students. Finally all the real people, will go to a normal pulbic school, and it is a zone school.
To measure a schools rating, you need to subtract all non-english speaking schools, subtract all students who use the MTA line, or goes to their non-zone schools. Then you are left with the student.
Like any normal person, with children. Your knowledge of this is limited and linear. Meaning a parent is not thinking of these things, at least most normal parents.
About disobediant students. This a problem that was caused with the divorcee era, and prinson culture bleeding into youth culture. Gang culture has allways been apart of youth culture. Then of course their are racist people who program their children, in a negative light. Finally media helps a bit.
I say the problem is hatefilled parents, and negative people, who caused the unruly student issues. This is why parents get divorced, to begin with, because families never approved of the person they are married to. This has been occuring since the 1950's.
Students are athorative to a specific kind of teacher. I say the last thing a teacher needs to say in a classroom, is to mention race. A student does not see race at all. All they see is darkskinned and lightskinned as we all are meant to see. They should destroy black history, and womans history montn, and force all public and private schools to teach their kids, history on the same page.
Speaking of segregation. Isn't it funny how their is a jewish halloween, and Jewish supermarkets???? You can still shop in them, and buy some nice stuff, but that is something to think about. Of course nobody notice the Chinese New Year, celebrations or dress up days. But seriously.
