Education Is Social Justice - 1 views

  •  
    It is everyones right to have the opportunity to receive a good education. Education and knowledge are said to be the best quality. With this said it takes a lot of self motivation, but some kids just don't have access to education.

    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.
  •  
    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.

    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.
  •  
    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation
  •  
    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.

Banking on Bondage: Private Prisons and Mass Incarceration - 0 views

  •  
    The imprisonment of human beings at record levels is both a moral failure and an economic one - especially at a time when more and more Americans are struggling to make ends meet and when state governments confront enormous fiscal crises. Having a system that relies on mass incarceration to continue in order to make profits goes against the purpose of the criminal justice system.

  •  
    The "War on Marijuana" has been a complete and utter failure. Instead of The United States wasting Billions of more dollars fighting a never ending "War on Marijuana", lets generate Billions of dollars and improve the deficit.

CPS Failed - 3 views

  •  
    This article is just upsetting. CPS failed to remove 3 children from their caregivers home after an officer reported concern, several other reports, and signs of neglect. Unfortunately, today only one of the three siblings are alive. CPS should be accountable.

    CPS should be accountable absolutely! In my opinion CPS pursues may cases that are unjustified and neglect the more serious cases that may take a bit more work. It is appalling.
  •  
    This story is upsetting. Within the first visit from a social worker there were countless red flags indicating the house is unsafe. The children probably feared of what the guardian would do if they spoke up. I feel all three of the children were too young and traumatized to even know what was going on. CPS should have taken these children into custody immediately, two lives could have been saved. Or at least do a random check up frequently to get a better outlook on the situation.
  •  
    This article is so heartbreaking. CPS should have done something from the beginning when they first started noticing abuse. I have experience with a bad social worker before when I was fostering a child. She was suppose to come every month to check on him but wouldn't show up for months. CPS needs to find a solution to get these social workers to do there jobs to protect these children.
  •  
    is heartbreaking how a little mistake can change a lot of people's life. In this case 2 children are death. CPS need to have professional workers that know how to identify the emotions of the kids. This case show us how life is unfair with some people and how sad it can be when some people don't do their job right.

      How can a child succeed in a school setting when they don't know how to ask for help when they really need it? Their trauma sets them up for failure because they have to be so self reliant at home
  • One of the challenges in giving that support is that when kids misbehave, our schools often use disciplinary systems that involve withdrawing attention and support, rather than addressing their problems
    • smurphy6600
       
      this re-enforces their idea of being alone doesn't it?
  • They need coaching and practice at de-escalating when they feel overwhelmed
  • they develop the belief that they’re bad, and what’s happened to them is their fault
  • “hostile attribution bias” — the idea that everyone is out to get them
  • They see negative where we see neutral
  • One of the classic symptoms of trauma is hyper-vigilance
  • This can look like hyperactivity
  • hronic trauma affects children’s memory, their ability to pay attention, plan, think things through, and other executive functions. Kids who have ADHD as well as trauma may be especially impaired in these skills.
  • Kids who have experienced chronic neglect tend to be better at getting attention by provoking the adults they depend on than by complying with expectations.
