Back in the day, when you got in trouble at school, it usually meant you were heading off to the principal's office or to detention. These days? Getting in trouble at school can mean ending up in the juvenile justice system. But how does that happen and who does it affect?

I have ADHD and I know it’s a minor issue but I’m always singled out. I’m always getting yelled at and bullied and it sucks! I have gotten 5 lunch dentitions in the past month. That’s more than in my whole life.

@romansthirteen-four8626 2 года назад

I know what you mean - I still struggle as an adult. Deadlines are killers. More than one annual evaluation has mentioned issues related to my ADHD, however it has helped in other areas the get me compliments and offset the negative. This book, “You mean I’m not Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy?!” by Kate Kelly & Peggy Ramundo - just the title ought to feel familiar with names we’ve been called all our lives. Of course I guess I could still be crazy anyway! LoL- anyway, I feel your pain!

I found out first semester of senior year that my high school was disproportionate. In my school black students were 2.5 times more likely to be suspended than their non-block counterparts (2018 report). This lines up with the data fact that black americans are 2.5 times more likely to be incarcerated than nonblack counterparts. My own high school that I went to is part of the school to prison pipeline, and I didn't find out until my senior year.

@jessica-pu1pu 2 года назад

@Oscar Duran It doesn't matter. Suspension should only be issued as a last resort. People like you are the problem, you gaslight others for noticing racism in the system and then pull up some form of a false dilemma fallacy. Rather then giving up on the kids and punishing them they should be given intervention for acting out.

@WHATISUTUBE Год назад

Are the Black students comitting offenses at a 2.5 time higher frequency? Because if so it is evidence of anti black racism as much as asians doing better in ivy leagues is evidence of anti white racism. in other words theres no racism. I went to a majority black school and am happy that kids that disrupt classes and literally fight in the middle of the class were suspended and thrown out. It allowed me (a minoroty) to learn and achieve and now make 150k a year. This is how we succeed: by not making excuses for our failures and having them drag the rest of us down

@mftman1 4 года назад

Whether punished strictly or allowed to run wild in the inner city schools, either way government is TERRIBLE at education of children. Lack of discipline in the home or school leads to adult crimes. All children need taught to be logical thinkers, self-controlled, to be hopeful, and taught marketable skills before high school and during. Forced high school was always a bad idea. Apprenticeship should have continued to be legally allowed at 12 years old so the youth that don't do well in bookworm style education can learn career skills on the job & be paid to do it! Many youth just have too much energy to sit at desks all day, especially boys.

@ErutaniaRose 2 года назад

I am not a racial minority, but to an extent, I have had to deal with certain issues. I have ADHD (inattentive), Anxiety, and PTSD. I almost always got into trouble just for asking clarifying questions, doing something wrong, or something out of my control like being sick. I was constantly ill and I also broke my foot (5th metatarsal to be exact) in my Sophomore year. While I can never truly understand the struggles of being handicapable 24/7, I very clearly remember there being only 2 elevators, which were on the same side of the building. Teachers could use it regardless of visibility, they were half the size of regulation, only one had a camera, and only one went to the top floor. Passing periods were 5 min and it usually took somewhere between 10-15 minutes to use them just because teachers would use them, even if they didn't need them. As a result, I was always late for class by 5 minutes and I had to leave 5 minutes early if I had to change floors. That, and the hallways were always SUPER crowded. (This was in a "good" school with around 3,000 students btw.) But, the worst was my chem teacher. I had to leave 5 min early to use the elevator and I was often late because of the elevator. So, I had to use my phone to check the time since the clock was always off. She accused me of texting multiple times, and once I got up to leave early, as I had for the past few weeks, and she YELLED at me in front of the whole class. It went something like this. "Where are you going??" "The elevator, I have to leave 5 min early." "That clock says 7 min early, not 5, go sit down!" "I leave the same time every day, see?" I showed my phone clock, which showed there was 5 min left. "It says seven, now sit down!" "No! I have to get to my next class! I will be late for it even if I leave not and have the whole 10 minutes from now to the end of the passing period, so I'm going!" Then I left. I told my parents and the school...and they did nothing. They asked her and she was like, "What? No, I never yelled, I just told her to politely wait two more minutes and she stormed out of the class." Then my parents had to argue that I shouldn't receive detention because of that. Literally, it was her first year teaching. I understand not wanting people to leave, but...bruh, I had a scooter and a cast. It wasn't like I was ditching 2nd period by 7 min.

I'm a black man, and I just want to be honest so we can have a productive conversation. When I was in high school 30 years ago, most of the fights were black kids. most of the classroom disruption was black kids, and most of the serious students were not us. The same is true of my daughters school. When I went to pick up my daughter from her high school a few years back, a white student was being carried out to an ambulance; he had been injured during "punch a white person day". I love being black, I love my people, and we need to do something about this school to prison pipe line. However, To ignore one whole side of a story will bring us to false conclusions and false solutions.

Well said, and thank you! The media's focus as "this is just an unfair injustice" angers some black parents who in turn tell their kids "the white system is against you, whites are bad" actually harm their kids minds and they build this disruptive nature into them. The evil behind this lie sets their children back, it hurts not helps. I wish everyone to see the true agenda behind these types of lies. They exist to cause division not unite. Race baiting has become a very useful tool of the lefts corrupted leaders who are struggling to get votes from "minorities". They need the false "white racist, white privileged" narrative to accomplish their self centered goals. They need to convince the "minorities" that they are combating on their behalf but they are simply liars vying for more power and control for themselves.

@simonesadler5904 5 лет назад

Those experiences you had in highschool and the one experience in your daughters school does not represent every black kid in America that has suffered as a result of the school to prison pipeline. Those experiences are also not "one whole side of a story". Factors like upbringing, mental disorder and/or illness, and peer pressure could've been the reason for violence in you or your daughters school; the prefrontal cortex in the minds of teens and children is most likely not developed which also why some kids make stupid decisions. Those kids did dumb things because they were acting dumb not because they're black.

Those statistics are interesting and present a huge problem not only for schools but for society as a whole. I would like to know how much instruction time is wasted trying to engage those students that DON'T want to be in the classrooms in the first place. As a teacher I need to do a balancing act between engaging those students that are going through tough times (family issues, economic, or disabilities) with the other students that want to learn. Continued budget cuts do not help as aides that can provide more contact time with these students is reduced.

@janicehenderson5603 4 года назад

Ezzilevy Too much instructional time is wasted on a daily basis. Engaging students today is very difficult and exhausting.

@ErutaniaRose 2 года назад

@@janicehenderson5603 It shouldn't be if they are actually learning. But school usually likes to extinguish that by forcing topics that don't apply to students lives and are actively discouraging their true interests. Learning is a lifelong pursuit of education, school is a 13-year train to hell so companies like Pearson can make money while kids try to kill themselves. I agree education is good and there are good teachers out there, but it's also important to note that the system as a whole is anti-children. They literally are treated as if they don't have human rights, and it causes severe mental and physical health concerns. If you want kids to be engaged, figure out what they want and then translate that to something they can actually use instead of a test. The issue though is that most teachers who try that get fired. So, first things first, let the students know they are safe with you, that they are allowed to have interests, work together and have autonomy. Don't try to control them, because that is where you lose them. Also, the best way to teach all people is through a combination of words AND pictures. Though for some with ADHD, Dyslexia, LPD, or other such issues, the formatting and presentation of such will have to be edited to suit them.

Sounds like Monsanto is one of the key contributors to the school-to-jail pipeline, along with DuPont - the toxins in the food and the fluoridated water are two pillars supporting the pipeline, keeping the pipe stable. Racism reinforces the pipeline akin to painting Hammerite or any other anti-rust coating to the pipe - as if it's made of iron. Organic food, detoxification, anti-racism and educational reforms are the solution.

@ryanhuang8498 8 лет назад

+gdm413229 Organic food is expensive, not everyone can afford it since most students are mainly from poor financial backgrounds. Most water supplies in Europe are not fluoridated, but their toothpastes have much higher levels of flouride to compensate for it, so there is no difference there. Notice the water in Flint MI, the water is so toxic because without the corrosion inhibitors, metals such as lead leaches from the service lines and into homes and buildings. Leading many cases of people have higher levels of lead there.

Unknown024 a lot of the times these "crimes" start as harmless pranks, which gives them a bad record and destabilizes the individuals mental status. Instead of a system that helps bring a student away from pranking when it starts, it helps aid them into getting worse, spiting the school and all authority. Then soon after they start committing real crimes, as such figures as a principle is just a smaller authoritative figure than a police officer.

Yes, that would be logical. But when students do commit crimes, there is an unjust system in place that contributes to disproportionate incarceration when it comes to different races or abilities (or disabilities).
