what do you think is the main problem when it comes to education in the black community?

Question

and no i'm not a white person i'm 100% black.

what can we do to get rid of this problem?

Answer 1

There is a culture of low expectations, both among blacks and in society at large.

This derives from a low cultural level, and a sense of pessimism.

Black popular culture is often marked by aggression and materialism, or mawkish religiousity.

Blacks require leaders who challenge these negative cultural elements and support the development of an educated black middle class.

Answer 2

Hello, I'm a white South-African male. Believe me I've heard this debate a million times before and they all led nowhere.
Anyway, I am not of the opinion that I have any idea what the answer to the question is, but I have read an interesting book by Dr. Chika A. Onyeani, called Capitalist ****** and it I think you might find it interesting too. Dr. Onyeani is the editor of an New York paper and touches some of the issues that might interest you.

Answer 3

As a white male, I grew up in an almost all black school. It didn't take long to realize that the blacks didn't come to school for an education. They wouldn't shut up or participate in class activities. The black students who really wanted an education were ostracized by the other students. A good way to fix this is get the parents involved in their education.

Answer 4

I wasn't born throughout the Civil Rights era, yet of path, I discovered approximately it via my mum and dad & grandparents. i'd desire to assert that I completely believe you, and that replace into very nicely written. there is no longer something racist or ignorant approximately what you wrote (to no longer me, besides). truthfully, i could no longer believe you greater. P.S. - basically so which you comprehend, no longer all rappers positioned on minstrel shows. purely those that are making the super dollars and get the MTV time. There are some that are very unsleeping artists. besides the undeniable fact that, they gained't sing and dance for the potent dollar, so they are not getting the MTV exposure and that they do no longer gets a commission a similar.

Answer 5

for anyone that suffers in school I honestly think it has a lot to do with what's going on at home. People constantly tell me I act white because of how I carry myself and how well I do in school, when honestly my mother simply encouraged me and brought me up with strong morals and values. Beyond home life, some kids' education suffers simply because of the location of their schools. Richer neighborhoods get loads of school funding, while poorer neighborhoods barely get any funding so they can't really get ahead. All students need to be taught in a way that will keep them interested and families really need to encourage and stimulate their kids to learn from a young age.

Answer 6

Religion. It encourages us to accept things that don't add up to logic thus our brains are programmed to be mentally dead from an early age. We are a people who strive on facts in order for us to develop our full potential so the inconsistancies and contradictions don't fit well with us. It may work better fofr others.

Answer 7

What's needed is a paradigm shift. I think our schools system is geared more towards socialization (dare I say brainwashing) into mainstream society than it is education. Young blacks often reject it (without even knowing why) because it simply does not relate to them culturally.

Answer 8

A lack of parental supervision & involvment. Also educations is losing its value among 'black' Americans.

Answer 9

Funding. Improve the environment, get better teachers, you'll have better-educated kids. That's just how it is.

The children who go to good schools and have good teachers turn out better-educated than those who don't. It's no secret.

Answer 10

Too many black people thinking that certain things are" too white"
like learning new languages and drama classes. Blacks hold themselves back and pick on anyone else that doesn't agree with their ghetto views.
