Systematic Racism and Mistreatment of Students in Lower Income School Districts
Now that I'm twenty-four, and graduated from college, I look back on my grade school experience often. When people bring up the constant issues that their children are facing in school, it brings me back the school district that I grew up in. There are too few great educators, a handful of good teachers, and a disgusting amount of check collectors in the Dallas Independent School District (DISD). As a child in elementary school, I can't seem to come to a conclusion as to why I never told my mother what the staff was doing to us daily. I knew that the way we were talked to, treated, and sneared at was not right. I knew it was wrong when they made us sit on the black top in the sun, in the heat, and in total silence during recess.
