segregation « Aisha Thalia One day I was standing in front of a group of black children and was curious to find out how much they knew about their history (I will use the term black because not all of them are African American, some were of Caribbean heritage.) I asked them how many of them knew that blacks had been slaves in this country and in the West Indies. Eighteen sets of wide, curious brown eyes stared back at me, confusion misting over their small faces. Two students confidently raised their hands while the rest glanced around in shame for not knowing. Let me begin by giving you some background: I am a teacher. I work in the public school system in a lower socioeconomic area where I am convinced that we are educating future workers instead of leaders. Parent, Parents, Parents! Why don’t many of our children know about this fight? Maybe if students could feel pride in their ancestors achievement they wouldnt base their success and pride off their material possessions.

The Fight for Civil Rights: 15 Images From America's Past Wednesday marks 50 years since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964. The landmark piece of legislation outlawed discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and ended segregation in public services in the United States. The bill followed decades of bloody struggle by civil rights lawyers, activists and ordinary people to gain racial equality for African-Americans, in the face of determined opposition from white supremacists. During that time, the battle moved from the court to the streets as Martin Luther King Jr. spearheaded a strategy of nonviolent resistance with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). In 1963, for instance, the SCLC ran a campaign in Birmingham, Ala., complete with sit-ins at segregated businesses and a march of high school students. President John F.

Why I decided to learn languages (14 and counting) Alex Rawlings Opens in a new tab or window., who won a competition to find Britain's most multi-lingual student Opens in a new tab or window. in 2011, explains why learning foreign languages is so rewarding, and how his school helped set him on this path.

School exchanges and other language opportunities I was fortunate to go to a school with a head teacher who believed in the importance of languages and made them compulsory for all. I went on several school exchanges to France and Germany, which were a real game changer for me. The benefits of studying foreign languages
Segregation Now: The Resegregation of America’s Schools White students once accounted for a majority of the Tuscaloosa school district's students. But by the mid-1990s, they made up less than a third. Total enrollment had dropped from 13,500 in 1969 to 10,300 in 1995. Tuscaloosa's business leaders and elected officials had witnessed the transformation of other southern cities after their school districts had reached a tipping point—the point at which white parents become unsettled by the rising share of black students in a school, and pull their children from the school en masse. Tuscaloosa's residential population stagnated during the '90s, and the school situation took on special urgency in 1993: Tuscaloosa was vying for the Mercedes-Benz plant where Melissa Dent now works, which officials hoped would draw people to the city. Districts under desegregation orders aren't supposed to take actions that increase racial separation. In 1993, Tuscaloosa's school board fired a test shot.
