“Most preschool kids want to be in school,” Losen said. “Kids just don’t understand why they can’t go to school.”
LOL, umm NO. Having a job that puts me into an association with the education system at all levels I can guarantee the above statement is false.
Inner city kids do not want to be in school. The vast majority of them were raised to be “free range” and have been raised to do as they please. Why would they want to go into a structured environment where their are rules and expected conduct to foster learning?
i will repeat a story I posted in a replay last week about a discussion I had with an assistant principal of an elementary school. The kids are so bad and out of control a behavioral modification specialist had to be hired.
Really??? Do you wonder why test scores are low and kids can’t read when they graduate HS? What the Obama and the Holder “justice” department have done is to further tie the hands of teachers and administrators.
I teach at what is more or less an inner city school, and about 4 or 5 years ago they began telling us that black kids just learn differently. They need to get up and move around more. They can’t just sit and learn like white kids do. When I said that it is racist to assume that black kids can’t learn like white kids can I was told that it was inappropriate for me to say that and further comments like it would result in an official reprimand.
