What's Wrong with American Schools?

[CrimsonTide4]

Hello EVERYONE,
I am in need of your help and serious input. I have to do a project for my graduate course and was undecided as how to proceed. I finally decided to focus on fixing some of the problems of education, particularly in regards to helping our BLACK students. However, my project can and will look at students of all races.

That being said, I have drafted questions that I want your input on. You can reply to me privately via my e-mail account (crs875@yahoo.com) or here on the thread. I consider you all to be the voice of America because a lot of you are parents and teachers, but regardless the products of America's schools will impact us all, either directly or indirectly.

1. Name at least 3 problems of education.

2. For each problem that you identified, please name a possible solution.

3. Is education fair to all of its students?

4. Is education color blind? Should it be? How?

5. Are you in favor of public single race schools with same race teachers? Why or why not? Advantages? Disadvantages?

6. Are you in favor of public single gender schools being taught by that respective gender? Why or why not? What are the advantages? Disadvantages?

7. For at risk students or students who are disadvantaged in terms of class and inferior school settings, what should be done to help these students?

8. As members or prospective members of BGLOs, our focus is service. How can we help our own more PROACTIVELY? What are you doing right now or have done in the past?

I would really appreciate any and all responses by Friday, March 8, 2002 because the project is due the following Thursday.
