Is homeschooling a safer option?
“The aim of education is knowledge, not only of facts, but of values” William S. Burroughs once said. Without any doubt, we need to take a deep look on how we are educating our children nowadays. Being an educated man is much more than being able to perform a complicated task, on a specific amount on time.
Giovanni ProfetaPublished 3 years ago in EducationPennsylvania School District under heavy backlash for its support of administration’s use of the N word and overall lack of emotional sensitivity to its students of color.
The Parkland public school district is located in the Lehigh Valley region of Eastern Pennsylvania and services North Whitehall, South Whitehall, Upper Macungie, and a part of Allentown townships. The school district’s total enrollment as of July 2021 is estimated at 9,572 students. 1/3 of these students are enrolled in Parkland High School, making it the largest school by headcount in the Lehigh Valley. This district has been known to serve students and their families by providing excellent educational curriculums, wholesome extra-curricular activities, and community involvement. However, there is something more that happens within the walls of this school that can no longer go unnoticed.

Introduction As a family engagement influencer, I speak my truth about issues related to parenting, education, and families. I raise awareness about relevant issues that some individuals cannot discuss because doing so would be politically incorrect. In doing so, I offer suggestions and solutions based upon my family engagement expertise and vast experiences as an educator. My passion also comes from being a mother.
Dr Deborah M VereenPublished 3 years ago in EducationSimply put...They're not safe.
I started writing this piece with the intention of shining a light on the institutional stigmas attached to young Black males, unfairly, by school systems. After sharing the experiences that my son and I had, I realize that there is a bigger, more horrifying theme running through, our and so many other interactions with the local school district. I realized that our children are no safer at school than they are on a street corner after dark, simply because district policy ties the hands of administrators.
Tiffany FCPublished 3 years ago in Education"Demise to a bully lies into Suicide"
He had everything, and she had little to nothing; not the most beautiful girl, but he made her feel like something. He remembers little to no money, and she was the only one to acknowledge him before he had all that. Fatty, the fat man, is what they would say, but what happens to fat man when he got money, aye? He went ghost as many did to him; built himself up worldwide, so let’s attack him. He became a king; he made it happen big. She was his queen, always left her feeling supreme. He loved her in a $20 dress, as he did in the most expensive; it’s blessed. He remembers every day, each time she would say, you can have better my bae. But better towards what? A girl who did not want him when his pockets weren’t the size of his butt. Said he respects her and her goals to step it up; ready to pay for her business, and she refused; what’s up? He wanted her, unconditional love, all true, nothing above. He tried to ring her, but she didn’t bite, she felt it was early, so they started to fight, hurt right, hurt right? Because it was her, to him it didn’t feel right. Promised on all he had, he loved her, said nothing more beautiful than someone who doesn’t want his money; nothing and no one like her. But what happens when the money becomes his way to impress?

All About LifePublished 3 years ago in EducationThis is me, pt1
Let me start with the disclaimer of my grammar will most likely be horrible, so please bear that in mind while reading. I was 12 years old whenever we moved from New Orleans to Ohio, and I was just starting junior high. In New Orleans, I was like every other kid my age, had plenty of friends, and the football team that I played for made it to the championship game that was played in the Superdome (home to the New Orleans Saints).
Allen LarntzPublished 3 years ago in EducationThe frequent flyer
As a child, I had an unexplainable aversion to school, Structure, And anything that resembled a square box in which people would shove me into. A lot of the time I was late to school, It was actually due to my mental disorder that hadn’t fully thrown it’s metaphorical ‘Coming out party’ into my life. To skip ahead for only a moment, I would later be diagnosed with Bipolar disorder- But before that had to happen I had to be diagnosed with many, many, many disorders. I know that was probably one ‘Many’ too many, But thats just what happens when you get tossed from doctor to doctor.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sudden pushes of students leaving the cafeteria. I guess the bell rang for the start of school. I readjusted my backpack and began walking. Moving at a slow pace, I looked behind me to see a girl with beautiful eyes, a delicate bluish-gray color. Her eyes just really stuck out at me, I guess, but don’t get me wrong, the rest of her was quite pretty as well. Her sandy-blond hair was cut in a short haircut with bangs that were longer in the front. It looked boyish in some ways, but somehow, still sassy and girly at the same time. Her face was soft and gentle-looking, her nose being small and rounded and her lips being thin with a natural light pink hue. Her body was slightly slender with an hourglass figure and she was of slightly below average height. She wore brown glasses that contrasted nicely with her bright blue dress, and the dress matched wonderfully with her pure blue eyes.

Today was my first day of school. Nothing of interest would likely be going on. School would likely be a waste of time, as it always was. I don’t learn anything or try very hard, because simply, I have lost all hopes of going to college and getting a degree. My dreams have been crushed for me, so why should I try that hard. After all, my only goal was to get through the year alive. I didn’t want anything more than that. I didn’t need anything more than that.

Kindness is a very scarce and sacred thing you can give to another person. In this 3D world we get caught up in ourselves.
Monique KlassenPublished 3 years ago in EducationWhy “That’s Just the Way They Are is Not an Excuse”
How many times have you experienced this: you’ve just encountered someone who is just aggressively mean, rude, and seems to have no problem with it? When you bring it up to someone their response is “oh, that’s just the way they are; you’ll get used to it”.
