Random skitt: CPS

When I started this blog I said I was going to do more of these random skit things. I liked how I could incorporated the concepts I had for my real blog into the ones I did for school. Obviously the ones I did for school where edited, spell checked, and proof read many times before submissions. Whereas this blog is as unedited as possible. I was blessed to have teacher to let me run with my imagination and creativity. I had an environment that cultivated that. I was and am academically privileged. And like all privileged people we like to take one day out of the year where we go out and help people who aren't. Mostly for recognition of course but we help. So even though I didn't live you’re normally CPS up bringing I did get to see some of it. When important people come how the school puts on a front for the people. They put their best foot forward. So I didn't even get to see a normal day I got to see their best and it was still dismal. So I can say even after all the marching and the picketing is over the problem isn't resolved just because the strike is over doesn't mean the problems are solved. I came home to my city to find that education is being privatized. I for one have always believed in a quality free education. One where you could at least survive in this world on your own without a college degree. But you can't even mop a floor without an associates'.  What is that saying about our education system ? The city can't close down neighborhood school to make way for more charter schools or private schools. Not all kids are charter material. There is a reason for the hierarchy system we have. Yes, all people are created equal and no man is better than another when judge as whole. But this is about isn't about the whole person. This is about academia. And in that particular filed you are dam sure there are people who are better than others. We need neighborhood schools so that neighborhood type kids can still get an education. We need a hand full of charter school for the handful of charter kids. We need technical schools for those kids who know they want technical skills. We need specific subject academies for kids like me who excel in particular subject but not others. so I need more of a challenged in the ones I’m good at and I need to be taught the ones I’m not good in. we need college preps for your ivy league bound kids. They are going to need to know certain things before they go that the rest of us don't need. Tearing the system and making it private won't fix things. Given the fact that the system could work if fixed. Privatizing education will do nothing more than cripple us academically beyond repair. The fact that money already has to do with where you live is already bad enough. Because not all neighborhood schools are created equally. The ones on the north east side are much better than the ones in the west side of the city. Why because the rich live in the north east and the poor live to the west. Money is already deciding what type of “free" education your child gets. Privatizing education would just be a stupid blindly taken step off the educational cliff of no return. Not that it would be a far fall from where we stand right now. I mean some off the text books are older than me. Hell so are most of the computers and programs. A good education requires all the necessary resources. I had an observatory in my high school just saying. Meaningful filed trips up to date material and books. Relatively new technology. All these things would help. Stop blaming the teachers there are more players involved here and maybe you should look at the bigger picture before you close a perfectly good school. I just think the only reason why they are so gun ho with the wrecking ball because boys like their toys and it’s cheaper than investing in a future the mayor will never see. His kids are in private school because he can afford it.
