Great questions and points about AYP and NCLB here. Great fact about "ableism" here too unfortunately! I cannot stand NCLB. The funding based on tests is tied to those who already "have" not the "have nots." If we wanted to help those who are behind the most, those who did poorly on the tests would receive more money, but it is not set up that way! I also cannot stand the hidden agenda in the legislation. If a school receives any federal funding, then when the recruiters come out and ask the principal for his or her seniors' contact information, the principal must comply with the request, and then the recruiters go after the seniors. I cannot stand that the emphasis is on testing which is only one measure and one type of assessment, and tests are not a panacea for education. Teachers are teaching to the test now--schooling students--and not educating them. In the mean time, testing companies are making a lot of money off of the materials and the costs to administer the tests to all students. The companies and those who already "have" benefit the most from NCLB not the poor students, and if you know me at all, that is not acceptable!!
Thanks for asking! Keep critically thinking and asking questions!
Study Ogbu's work on dominant culture. Yes, we have those here in the US even now. Also, look at Trin Minh Ha's work on first world countries being in third world countries and vice versa.
I think the keys to dealing with negative attitudes are hope, education, and resources. People who are really negative often feel overwhelmed and helpless, and you have to combat those feelings and try to get them to understand they are empowered. There is hope. Whatever is oppressing them can change, but they have to construct that change and work towards their goals. Look back at the dispositions--influence and inspiration. I think they will help you with that more, and look at generational poverty versus situational poverty too. I think this attitude has a lot to do with generational poverty. Look at Irvine's Seeing with a cultural eye book too if you would like more reading that would help you. Darius' story in her book is powerful, and he has a lot of negative attitudes and a generational poverty perspective too.
Good points and quotes here! I like the Helen Keller quote in particular.

Remember to discuss strategies and your ideas on classism at the cultural, institutional, and individual levels and your own critique of Ruby Payne.

Chapter 11 What kind of a nation turns its back on its own people while financing the rest of the world? Look what we have created…”We were evicted frequently…If the children got sick, my mother would beat us, screaming that we could not get sick because she could not afford to take us to the doctor…”…where is their country in their time of need… A man in search of a myth will usually find one. Pueblo Indian Proverb
Chapter 12 Can you even imagine what it would be like to be a Chinese woman with no legs who has no means of support, is on welfare and is homeless? That covers almost all of the “ism’s” what have hope have we given her? Ableism has been defined by Linton as the negative determination of an individual’s abilities based on his or her disabilities…promoting the belief that people with disabilities are inferior to able-bodied persons to justify discrimination against them. I am not broken! I am not broken! I am a representative of the diversity of the human race. Norman Kunc
Misty Roe Chapters 11 & 12 Fact-One out of six children in the United States lives in poverty. Quote-Until the great mass of the people shall be filled the sense of responsibility for eacho other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.(Helen Keller) Question-Have you ever been faced with classism?
In reply to Misty's question...I think everyone has been faced with classism at one point in their life. Example- In Middle and High School trying to stay in competition with your friends in keeping up with the newest technology and clothing. Some families can afford it and some cannot, depending on which class you are you are faced with classism. As adults I see classism the same as I did as a child, if you live in a big fancy house, drive a expensive car,and etc. you would be consider in the upper class. Also it may just be your name is know as a family of wealth or your occupation and can place you in a class. These people and their children are treated differently in local places than other average citizens. Especially in schools and extra curricular activies.

People who are really negative often feel overwhelmed and helpless, and you have to combat those feelings and try to get them to understand they are empowered. There is hope. Whatever is oppressing them can change, but they have to construct that change and work towards their goals. Look back at the dispositions--influence and inspiration. I think they will help you with that more, and look at generational poverty versus situational poverty too. I think this attitude has a lot to do with generational poverty.

Chapter 12
Can you even imagine what it would be like to be a Chinese woman with no legs who has no means of support, is on welfare and is homeless? That covers almost all of the “ism’s” what have hope have we given her?
Ableism has been defined by Linton as the negative determination of an individual’s abilities based on his or her disabilities…promoting the belief that people with disabilities are inferior to able-bodied persons to justify discrimination against them.
I am not broken! I am not broken! I am a representative of the diversity of the human race.

In reply to Misty's question...I think everyone has been faced with classism at one point in their life. Example- In Middle and High School trying to stay in competition with your friends in keeping up with the newest technology and clothing. Some families can afford it and some cannot, depending on which class you are you are faced with classism.
ReplyDeleteAs adults I see classism the same as I did as a child, if you live in a big fancy house, drive a expensive car,and etc. you would be consider in the upper class. Also it may just be your name is know as a family of wealth or your occupation and can place you in a class. These people and their children are treated differently in local places than other average citizens. Especially in schools and extra curricular activies.
