School Problems In South Carolina

Decent Essays
How many schools in South Carolina are functioning well with air conditioning, heat, technology, proper buses, and everyday things that people think are normal for schools to have? Unfortunately, not every school does. Some schools in the lower part of South Carolina do not have these things. Some of these schools have cracks in the walls and underneath the doors that let cold air in. Some schools have to lay buckets out under the roof to catch the rain. Some schools buses break down every morning due to them being old. Lastly, some schools have very little space for students to do interactive activities with each other. These schools have been this way for a very long time and nothing has been done to fix these schools problems. Action needs

    I work in a school district and I believe that a school is the heart of the community. It is where we meet our neighbors, where our children make friends and families gather for school activities. It is about people. When you have a neighborhood that is struggling, you will also find the school is struggling. As I watched the video Building Expectations, Portrait of Lincoln High School there was definitely signs that this community was careworn.…

    Choosing education as my pre 1865 choice to compare with current education, seems like one of the most important comparisons. Being that I am in college working towards my dream of becoming a teacher, the prospect that any person in the United States of America does not obtain at minimum a basic education is appalling. Education has always remained the key to a superior life, but social standing and race in the United States of America generally speaking determines who befits from an education, and what type of education is received. Withholding education from an entire race or social group increases the probability of poverty and crime. Although improvements in education have occurred since slavery, further advancement is necessary to call…

    The school-to-pipeline term according to Lia Epperson is, “One of the most disturbing factors presently limiting educational advancement is the significant racial disparity in the apportionment of school discipline. Due to a series of state-enacted policies throughout the last two decades, school districts across the nation have adopted so-called “zero tolerance policies” that apportion the harshest of criminal punishments for minor, nonviolent offenses. Through such state policies, students of color— and particularly African American children—are overwhelmingly more likely to suffer suspension, expulsion, and arrest, often for nonviolent infractions. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as the “school-to-prison pipeline.” Today’s school-to-prison…

Plessy vs. Ferguson (1896) was a law that called for the segregation of public schools under the doctrine of “separate but equal” (Sass, 2016). 58 years later the “separate but equal” doctrine was considered unconstitutional and was overturned by the Supreme Court (Sass, 2016). As a result, Brown vs. Board of Education established desegregation in schools and equality for all (Sass, 2016).…
