Children have a sense to categorize people by race at the early age of 6 months .
I think that because there is a social norm about white people that it takes away from people of color.
I think black people talk more about racial identity because most of the time black people are being racially profiled almost everyday no matter what age or gender, I think children should learn about race as young as possible so theirs more understanding growing up.
I think caregivers could include race in a lot of conversations especially going into school.

(1) Children notice race and can start to categorize people by six months old.
(2) The smog is the standard in the united states in terms of apperance of the middle class white culture
(3) I think black people talk about race with their kids more because of the way society is now and all of the ricism around they should learn at a young age about race and how to be careful when talking to police etc.

1. Children notice race at about 3-5 years of age, this happens because of their environment
2. Smog is the mixture of fog and smoke. Smog relates to race because sometimes there is racism in the air and sometimes you can't notice it
3. Black parents talk about racism more than white parents because black people usually have it harder dealing with racism than white people. Kids should learn about race in preschool so they don't create biases as they get older
4.I feel like children should work in diverse groups at school and use teamwork so they can build relationships with other races that are not their kind/ not like them.

Children notice race at 2 years old. It happens because of their environment or where they are and not their family.

Children at the age of 2 years old learn about race .It happens because children gather information from different sources, not just by their parents.

“Smog” in the air means concealed racism.
It’s connected to race because it’s a metaphor to show how racism is sometimes covered up.

I think it’s because white parents don’t really care about racial identity since it doesn’t really affect them. I think children should learn about age when they’re able to speak, and understand things because it’s important to learn about.

I think caregivers should teach their children about racial identity instead of telling them what not to say, they should tell them why they shouldn’t say that.
So i think the ‘take it seriously’ strategy would be the most effective

Children can categorize people by their skin color six month old. I think it is because of their environment and the color of the people in their homes or around them. More black people likes to talk about racism with their preschoolers because they know that their children will have their experiences that their parents had in their life, and I think because white people do not care about racial identity . I think students should know about racism when they get into the school because if they know about raincoat identity they will not judge student and make fun of their skin color anymore .

1. Children notice race at the age of 6 months old because of their environment and who they're around.
2. The term Smog is air pollution that reduces visibility. In the article it is used at a metaphor to show how racism can't always be seen.
3. White parents don't talk about race with their children like black people because they don't think it's necessary. I think that kids should learn about race, racial identity, and racism at a young age because it could have an impact on the way they grow up.
4. I think that caregivers should use the strategy "take it seriously" to have an open conversation with kids and help them understand more about race, racial identity and racism.

2023-09-22 14:03:09 UTC

"Smog" in the air means concealed racism. It's connected to race because it's metaphor to show that racism is everywhere and we don't notice it sometimes.

I think Black parents talk about race with their kids more than White parents do because Black people experience racism and White people usually don't. I think kids should learn about race, racial identity, and racism and 8 years old because I think they'll understand it then and any age before that is too early.

I think caregivers should slowly introduce race at an appropriate age because I don't think children worry about those things and should just focus on being kids. I think the "take it seriously" strategy would be more effective in our society.

School is No Place for Classism

1) What is an example of classist language that is used in schools from the article? Write the quote. Then think about how this is harmful for students. Explain.
2) Give an example of a barrier that prevents people from lower class families from earning a livable wage?
3) What from the article stood out to you the most and why?
4) Have you ever heard a teacher or person in education make a negative remark about a specific career/job? Explain.
5) How do you think we can unteach negative stereotypes about social class? Give 1 example.

the first quote the writer said on the front page that one day i overheard an adult tell a male student " you do not want to be an welfare later in life. make sure you study and do well in school. I think it is a harmful sentence for students because it makes them afraid of their future and afraid of doing work in a place which give you less money.
a quote" you do not want to end up working at a fast food restaurant for the rest of your life" and dress for success .
I think you can unteach negative stereotypes about social class with encouraging them to think, guide them to good ways, tell them from our experiences.
yes sometimes some teacher are saying about being a teacher because of how much money they get paid for techers not talking bad just talking about the carreer and how much money the government are giving them.
That one quote in page one of the guy who is telling about working in fast food resturant, i think he is saying for his life like he is teaching him to not work there because he will not get more money to be enough some people are saying this always because they think the money a fast food resturant gives you is not enough like I am not sure about this.

1) Classist language is discouraging and putting negative thoughts in a student's head about their future. "Instead of open-ended classist comments, such as those described above. teachers can use non-classist language and engage students in conversations" This is harmful to students because this make them gain negative thoughts from your negative comments and it will gate keep students from doing their best/not showing their full potential. This will limit their future career or future options.
2) Not speaking english, no transportation, not having a security card.
3) Something that stood out to me was that Teachers usually create students/the new gens mindsets.
4) No.
5) Encouraging/supporting students to think bigger and outside the box.

school is no place for classism

2023-10-05 16:08:19 UTC

1. classist language that i thought was harmful to students was on the first page a teacher goes ¨you dont want to be on welfare later on in life¨ i think this is very harmful because why if a student fail its always something negative instead of encouraging and even if they didnt do good in school there is jobs where you wont need as much education as you think.
2. as i said in the end of question 1 many places dont actually need school education for jobs and i think some things that stop people from earning livable wages is the simple fat that many people dont have a source to even pay for education or they dont have the help or encouragement to have good earnings.
3. the part that stood out most to me was on page 2 the backside paragraph 8 it says ¨could a student dream of working in a restaurant ? Absolutely! ¨ this stood out to me most because it shows how encouraging we can be to any sort of job we want.
4. personally i have not heard any remarks about any job tittle
5. i think we can unteach negative stereotypes by teaching the value of any job if we all think about how hard any person in any job position has to work it would encourage people to change their perspective on things like that

1. Los niños de 3 a 5 años. Porque los niños miran por mucho mas tiempo mirando una cara desconocida de una raza diferente que una cara desconocida de su misma raza

2. el smog in the air es que aveces es muy espeso que podemos verlo y otras veces es menos espero pero igual dia tras dia lo respiramos. Lo que tiene que ver con la raza es que los programas infantiles televicion peliculas etc, tienden a asociar cosas positivas con el blanco y cosas negativas con el negro

1) An example of classist language in the article is “ You don’t want to end up working at a fast food restaurant for the rest of your life!” It’s harmful to students because it’s criticizing people who earn minimum wage and it makes students think that there are certain ‘bad’ jobs.
2) A barrier that prevents people from lower class families to earn a livable wage is limited resources.
3)What stood out to me the most was how the article talked about how people sometimes define what a ‘good’ future is and how people usually define it as having a high salary.
4) I’ve heard a student make a negative remark about fast food restaurants but not any teachers.
5) I think we can unteach these negative stereotypes by not defining what a ‘good’ future is , like not saying that a ‘good’ future is having a high salary.

1. An example of classist language in the article is " You don't want to be on welfare later in life". It's harmful to students because it's degrading people you use welfare and sometimes those student's families may use them.
2.A barrier that prevents people from lower class families to earn a livable wage is limited education/resources.
3.What stood out to me the most in the article was how the article talked about how we students to think critically because it helps us be able to fix certain structures in society for the better.
4.No, I haven't
5. I think we can unteach negative stereotypes about social class by teaching students that there's a positive and negative side to every social class and just because your in a lower class doesn't mean your any less of a person.

1. An exmaple of a classist language in the article is "You dont want to be on welfare later in life". This is harmful for students becasue it puts the idea in their head that being on welfare is a bad thing.
2. An example of a barrier that prevents people from lower class families from earning a livable wage is not having enough resources.
3. Something that stood out to me the most in the article is how people include having a high salary apart of having a good future.
4. I haven't

5.I think we can unteach the negative stereotypes by supporting all students and not discriminating any.

1.You don't want to end up working in a fast food restaurant for the rest of your life. Por que les hace creer que trabaje en un restaurante de comida rápida es malo y así van a creer o muchas veces despreciar a las personas que trabajan ahí.

2.lo que más me sorprende del artículo es como el profesor que lo escribió se enfoca en cambiar los pensamientos de las personas que hacen comentarios clasistas con mala intención y otros que no se dan cuenta.

(2) idk
(3)something that stood out was how many students are told classist language by staff or teachers when they are suppose to be encouraging us.
(4) yes I remember a sub i had in middle school said the only way to be 100% succesful is by being in the medical field or real estate.
(5) we can let students know theres nothing wrong with a specific job or career and you can be successful with any career you choose to do.

1) What is one thing that stood out to you from the documentary? Explain why it stood out to you.

2) 7% of the 4 million teachers in The United States are Black, while Black girls make up 16% of the population. How could the lack of Black female teachers impact how Black girls are perceived in school?

3) Do you think schools should have police officers working in them? Explain why or why not (your opinion)

4) Why do we have such a large amount of Black girls who are at risk for suicide? How can we better support their mental health in schools?

5) How is adultification shown with how adults interact with Black girls? How is this idea reinforced by popular culture (films, movies, shows, advertising, etc)

6) How can schools make Black girls feel more valued? Give one example.

7) What is the first step schools should take to address the issue of criminalizing Black girls?

Black girl documentary

ocom2601_ — 2024-02-28 16:56:49 UTC

1.Something that stood out to me in the documentary was the videos of black girls being targeted in schools as disruptive and a problem.

The lack of black teachers will unmotivate black girls and won't have role models to stick up for them
I believe that schools should have police officers at the entrance of the school because school shooting happen often and it will make the school more
safe.
Theres a large amount of black girls on a risk of suicide because they often don't have anyone to talk to or believe them. Usually the staff members at school and home are against them.
Adultification is shown when they trated a black girl like she was 7 when she was literally four.
Schools can make black girls feel more valuable by having more black staff, check-ins, and a black culture class focusing on them(with a black teacher)
They should address the issue publicly by letting every black girl know that this is a safe place and more black appreciation on the walls.

one thing that stood out to me is the girls having the courage to speak up for their self about what they been through.
we shouldn't have police in our school because school should be a safe place for us to be at without police involved.
1. we can make black girls feel more valued by creating safe and support environments

Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Public Schools

2024-02-28 17:30:06 UTC

1) One thing that stood out to me from the documentary was one of the girls would get in trouble for the littlest things. It stood out to me because it eventually led her to think that nobody cared about her and she had wanted to commit suicide.

2) The lack of Black female teachers impacts how black girls are perceived because if there are more diverse teachers that can help break stereotypes.

3) I feel like there shouldn't be school police since they're not much help and they criminalize students of color. School police create a harmful environment for students of color and decrease their academic achievement.

4) The reason why black girls are at a high risk of committing suicide is because there's a lot of racism still and that might cause them to feel isolated or have a low self esteem. I feel like they could also feel like they don't have anyone who they can trust in the school system. A way to better support their mental health is by showing more representation in schools since they could feel included and they can see a role model and have motivation in school. Another way is by simply listening to them and being someone they can trust.

5) Adultification is shown in how adults interact with black girls by guessing that they're more old than their actual age because they view black girls are more mature than white girls. The idea is reinforced by popular culture in the film 'Cuties' you see 11 yr old girls wearing crop tops and doing disturbing poses and provocative dancing. The film basically sexualizes children.

6) A way schools can make black girls feel more valued is by teaching them that being black is beautiful and it's not something to be ashamed of.

7) I think the first step schools can take to stop criminalization towards students of color is by simply not having any school police. it puts them in a very harmful environment and they mostly criminalize students of color.

Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools

2024-02-28 23:44:08 UTC

One thing that stood out to me from the documentary was how the girls were treated in school. This stood out to me because I thought it was important since it impacted their future.
The lack of Black female teachers impacted how Black girls were perceived in school because they didn't have someone who looked like them to look up to.
I don't think schools should have police officers working in them because I feel like that would just scare the kids rather than make them feel protected.
I think that we have such a large amount of Black girls who are at risk for suicide because they don't feel that they are supported in school and in life generally. We can better support their mental health in schools by having teachers who look like them so they can have someone to look up to and by also making sure their voices are heard.
Adultification is shown with how adults interact with black girls by assuming that they are older just because they look older.
Schools can make Black girls feel more valued by making them feel safe.
The first step schools should take to address the issue of criminalizing Black girls is by trying to rebuild the school system.

2024-02-29 16:42:15 UTC

(1)One thing that stood out to me is how black girls are constantly getting in trouble in schools even over the smallest things.

(2) It impacts how black girls are perceived because if we have more black female teachers classrooms would be more diverse and black girl will feel more comfortable in the classroom.

(3) I don’t think police officers need to be working in schools because all they do is bother kids they feel is doing something suspicious which is mostly students of color. And it could make the students feel nervous or uncomfortable even if they aren’t doing anything wrong.

(4)because they don’t have a good support system at school. We can better support their mental health by just being there to support them and show that you care about them.

3) I think schools should have police officers who are ready to save people in every situation; not to run away because sadly there are more shootings, and fights in schools.

2) Lack of Black female teachers can impact our Black girl students minds. For example, they will not be interested in being a teacher in the future, or not having interest in learning, or skipping classes.

1) One thing that stood out to me from the documentary was when people thought that the seven year old girl was twelve, and I also heard one of them say that something happened to her, and she was close to die, but happily she survived and now she told her story to us.

4) I believe Black girls are more at risk for suicide because they do not get more supports, or maybe they are experiencing bad things in their life or in school, and we can support them by rising our voice to have more black teachers, and school shall treat everyone the same.

5) Usually when I watch movies they use Black girls to play bad part, I don't know how to explain kinda like giving Black girls bad characters in movies, but not all movies, and I think this impact everyone because it is going to make new steryotypes about our black girls.

6) School can hire more Black teachers to help Black girls feel more valued not only for them but even us.

7) I think Schools can engage parents in the well being of Black girls. Like having more conversation with them, learning more about their child through conferences.

1) How would you describe the school culture and climate at Laney? Use examples from the documentary to support your answer.

2) At the beginning of the film the staff visit homes of nearly 500 incoming students, was this helpful, if so how? Should more schools do this? Why or why not?

3) In the film we see families struggling with home insecurity. How did the school step up to support those children?

4) In the U.S. Black children are suspended from school 3 times more than their White peers. Why do you think this happens? How do you think Laney decreased suspension rates by over 90%?

5) We see a lot of stress around standardized testing, but what are others ways we see learning in the documentary?

6) What stood out to you about principal Friestleben?

7) How does the outside community/neighborhood impact the safety of the school?

8) What stood out to you most from this film that features one of our own elementary schools here in MPS?

(1) Lucey Laneys population is 90% black students. And named their school after a African American founder.

(2) It was helpful because it got the students excited for school and it showed that the staff are exited to have them at school.

(3) They supported them by just letting them know they can talk to them and being there to comfort them.

(4) I think they decreased it by helping the kids control their anger and stopping them from doing things that could get them suspended.

(5) We see personal growth and students bettering themselves.

(6) Something that stood out to me is that she treats all of the kids as her own and shows them so much love.

(7) It impacts the safety of the school because North minneapolis is mostly known for shootings so it can worry Parents and even school staff on the safety of their students.

(8) Something that’s stood out to me about the school is that ALL of the staff want their students to be great and they support the students no matter what they go through outside of school.

This school has African American culture and mostly black people orientated by Naming the school after a black founder and talking about racism towards black people/students. The climate is very positive. Lanley is welcoming to students and teachers.
1. I believe the staff going to the homes was very helpful because the kids liked that they were being checked on and felt that they mattered. More schools should do this.
1. The school stepped up by emotionally supporting them and dealing with their bad traits so that they can learn from them and fix them.
1. I think black children are most often criminalized and have the face of violence to most people, basically picking favorites. Instead of the whites who are always victimized
1. We see learning in textbooks, reading,
1. She grew up around North Side and would be sexually abused by her neighbors.
1. The North Side is often known as ghetto and people getting shot around there a lot. Knowing this, Parents would not send their children over North because of the high-risk of a shooting.
2. At the beginning of the year they have to send out a letter to parents saying they are one of the lowest schools just so they know what they're getting themselves into.

2024-03-11 22:07:45 UTC

I would describe the school culture at Laney as diverse, loving, and supporting. In the documentary they show all the teachers being supportive to the students no matter what.
I think visiting students houses before school started was helpful because they showed that they were excited for the students and it also shows that they care about the students. I think other schools should also do this because it helps build positive relationships with families.
The school supported the students by supporting them and making them feel comfortable.
I think that in the U.S. Black children are suspended from school 3 times more than their White peers because they are criminalized and also because of the biases teachers have towards them. I think Laney decreased suspension rates by over 90% by having different solutions for the problems rather than suspending the student.
Other ways we see learning in the documentary is seeing the students having faith in themselves.
Something that stood out to me about principle Friestleben is how she took the time to get to know each student individually.
The outside community/neighborhood impact the safety of the school because since there are a lot of shootings and violence around the school, that can make the school seem unsafe and it could also put the students in danger when they go outside to play.
Something that stood out to me the most from this film is how dedicated every teacher is.

Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools

2024-03-12 11:48:32 UTC

One thing that stood out to me from the documentary was how Black girls were treated in school. This stood out to me because how they were treated negatively impacted their futures.
The lack of Black female teachers could impact how Black girls are perceived because they don't have role models to look up to.
I do think schools should have police officers because when problems between students arise they're experienced and they can help sometimes though they can be terrible police officers.
I think we have a large number of Black girls at risk for suicide because they're not supported in schools or in life. We can better support their mental health in schools by having female teachers they can trust to talk to about problems. I also think we should have spaces where they feel comfortable being their authentic selves have a voice and know they are valued and loved.
Adultification is shown in how adults interact with Black girls by assuming that they're older because they may look or act older. Films reinforce this idea by sometimes portraying the younger kids as the "caregivers".
Schools can make Black girls feel more valued by having spaces for them in which they are safe, loved, and comfortable.
I think the first step schools can take to address the criminalization of Black girls is to have more colored teachers to make them feel valued.

smon2602 — 2024-03-14 00:40:54 UTC

1) The school is very inclusive and loving. The school has 90% of black students and students living in poverty. All the teachers seem really friendly and the students seem to have fun. The students feel a sense of belonging.

2) I think visiting the students was helpful because they felt heard and got to express how much they liked the school. More students (outside of Laney) would want to come to Laney if they felt left out at their school. I feel like more schools should do this so other students struggling with their current school can have an option. It also could help students feel heard.

3) The school helped by listening to them and supporting them.

4)I think that black children are most likely to be suspended because of racism, there are biases. I think that they decreased suspension rates by 90% because they listened to the students and helped them instead of punishing them. I also think that the school or staff doesn't seem to have any biases.

5) Other ways that I see learning in Laney outside of standardized testing is teaching the students to love themselves and that they can do anything they put their minds to.

6) What stood out to me about Principal Friestleben is how caring and determined she is. She's very loving and how she listens to students instead of punishing them.

7) I think neighborhoods impact the safety at Laney because there are many shootings in that neighborhood.

8) What stood out to me the most was how all the staff did their best to listen to the students and just simply care for them. All the students seemed to have a lot of fun and felt like they belonged there.

The school is diverse, loving, and welcoming. Lucy Laney is 90% Black students who usually come from low income families. In the documentary we see a girl who has 6 siblings and a single mother living in a very small home that's in terrible condition. All the teachers are very welcoming especially the principle as she is very close with her students and their families. In the documentary they tell her she's the best person and how they trust her.
It's very helpful when teachers visit the homes of incoming students because it helps people not forget and also people might not know the school is going to start as they may not have an email or phone. I think schools should do this because it shows you care about your students and that it's a good way to remind families of the new school year.
They supported them by letting the students know they can trust the school and listening to their struggles and trying to find other solutions.
I think that Black children are mostly likely to be suspended because of racism and criminalization. I think that Laney decreased their suspension rates by finding the root cause of students outburst and by finding other solutions for students to channel their anger towards. I also don't think the staff are biased or racist.
We students are having personal growth and improving themselves. I also think the students improved on their reading.
Something that stood out to me about Principle Friestleben is how caring and loving she is. She's always listening to her students'problems and trying to help them in the best way she can. I also think shes very determined to get the school off "the list".
I think that if the outside community is unsafe and there are many shootings as we see in the documentary that impacts students safety and puts them at risk for getting harmed.
Something that stood out to me is how everyone at the school tried so hard to get off "the list" and were determined to better the school and the student's education.

2) I believe it was a good idea to go to their home and check on them or to just tell them that they have school this day, I think in that time there was not opportunity to have their phone numbers or emails, but going to their homes was a better idea because when I saw the documentary one of the kids was very happy when he saw his teachers came to him. I think school should do this just if they did not see their students for some while just to check on them why they are not coming to school.

1)I would say that in Laney they had a good relationship with all the students and students were so happy to go to the school. They were cheering up the students just to support them, and it has like African american culture. I would say a beautiful place with a beautiful climate, and no racism against any kid.

6) One thing that stood out to me about her that she was only 4 years old and she endured severe sexual abuse and this really made me sad.
