Seems kind of pointless, most athletes don't go pro after college, so I why not get the full educational experience? Getting special treatment in school just because you’re an athlete is not fair. College is way to difficult for people to get special treatment just because of a person’s special talent. How about for students who are honor students? All their hard work doesn’t mean anything?
These distinctive beats and bass lines became the foundation of a new type of music in these clubs, and Djs can be seen as the prime movers of hip hop.” “MCs (Master of Ceremonies) in the clubs were there to introduce the hot new DJ. Between songs, though, MCs began to talk to the crowd. Like MC's even today, this talk varied between jokes, biographical anecdotes, as well as attempts to excite and energize the audience. Eventually, some local MCs began to talk over the music, and this talk soon became part of the music performance. These MC's became known as "rappers".” “Eventually, "rap music" was refined to become a mixture of rhythmic poetry, and rappers were getting noticed by 1979 and some commercially successful records were selling locally, though rap had hardly made an impact on the U.S. mainstream.” As the eighties went by, hip hop got more popular and we had some station that would play our music such as BET, but MTV only played everything besides African American music.
Thank God- that I have been able to succeed in most of my goals. Despite the things that I went through in life, I thank Adversity for being in my life because it has made me prepare for future challenges. Also, it has helped me to recognize the importance in gaining my education to better my life and that of my daughter. I believe that though I am now a single mother, having my education will open doors for me and make me a good role model for my
If at any point they failed, they would see this as a big mistake and give up and have a lack of motivation. It can also be argued that working class children do not get the support of their parents, this is because many of the parents believe that they survived without an education, so believe that there children can do the same. Working class families can also lack in support in terms of if the child fails a particular exam, they would not give them positive feed back on how they could improve they would improve. Whereas, it can be argued that higher class families have more motivation and the parents also give the support to the children that is needed. This would have a positive influence on the child’s education as it would give them hope and not give them an opportunity of giving up.
Gatto gives us examples of well-known people who have accomplished great things in their lifetime and were not educated through the school system. Then he tells us what we think schooling is supposed to teach us and help us accomplish. We have been taught that our success is dependent upon our schooling. That schooling helps make us good people, good citizens, and our own personal best. Gatto tells us that this is wrong and suggests that our schools actually operate under a different set of functions.
There isn’t nothing positive being done with the males in my family. They only thing that we all could do well was play sports but talent unused is talent wasted. I believe that I might not be as bad as them but if I continue in the direction I was going in I would end up in the same situations. I had to start my transformation. This is what motivated me to want to change myself and become a better person before it was too late.
Rosa Lee was the one that her children had to look up to and the ones that decided to follow in her footsteps ended up in the same situation as her. “When her children were young-the ages of the grandson and granddaughter-she taught them how to shoplift as well” (40). Parents have no choice but to be good role models. It is part of the job of raising children. The best way to teach a child is through example by being the best role model one can
I felt school was not for me because I have dyslexic and, I feel people just don’t want to help me. I had to get off the self-pity and do something about my life. Returning to school should not mean you should give up your life it means you are giving your life a new outlook. Improving the things in life to make your future more brighter is priceless. I always wonder why I seem to leak learning things.
I did not grow up in the best environment and my caseworker has helped me cope with the fact that, sometimes, my family is not a positive role model for me. I learned that, even through hard times, not everybody is going to do what they say they are going to do. Having a relationship with my family has been an enormous struggle, because I am very close to them and they have some unhealthy habits, which I know, are not good to deal with. I try not to follow in their footsteps because I want to provide for myself and predict my own future. The differences that Youth services have made in my life are going to help me in the community and make a difference in the future.
Education: The process in which an individual gains pointless knowledge for the opportunity to get wealthy. America's education system is awful at properly educating their students. The type of education that is taught in high school is only to prepare you for what you're actually going to learn in college. A lot of the courses being offered at high schools are impractical in our daily lives, such as trigonometry, Hawaiian history and British literature. These courses are useless unless you're going to major in one of those subjects, but most of us aren't.
