My teacher made a very good point ! The racial make up of our school system is changing . I feel as though majority of the whites try to take things and make it their way . Majority of the cities population is 70% . Why are they changing everything ? Where are the black teachers ?

Reborn
Charter schools really started to become established in New Orleans after Katrina. Charter schools ate almost like a private (public) school. The video sates about 102 schools took this Charter school route. Charter schools control their budget , curriculum and hires it's own staff McDonogh 35 is one of the few Orleans Public schools still established in New Orleans. Last year about 250 of our Seniors graduated. We must be doing something right !!!

My DECA experience
Wow, as the new southern region Vice President i really enjoyed the Fall Leadership confrence with my peers. When i returned to class today and informed my classmates how things went my teacher brought to my attention that everything that i learned during my trip does involve sociology. It relates to sociology becaue they had an adiqute lesson prepared for us during opening night to teach us how to react at a dinner table during professional events. The term that he used was cultural capital. Cultural Capital was involved in the DECA trip because it futhered our awarness of the positive business attitude. Cultural Capital is teaching and appreciating the fact of having the ability of dealing with higher class citizens. During the confrence we were introduced to the attitude you should have in the marketplace, by having us work as one group of eight but then broke up up into two's and had us to work against each other on buying or selling items.

For every 10 students that attend a New Orleans public school fewer than 6 will graduate.

Louisiana & the Many Faced Problem!
Many problems have taken place here in Louisiana rather it’s racism, school board problems, or even the city alone with killing and other thing. Many years ago whites thought everything should go their way. They was scared about the crime in which was taking place. Because of that they moved away in to suburbs, where crime wasn’t a problem. Another problem would have to be tuition, and also segregation. Whites believed they were to good to do anything with black, and with a such thing called tuition blacks were unable to pay.
The school board is also yet another problem here in Louisiana. It doesn’t make any sense for it to be as bad as it is. Schools here in Louisiana don’t have books to be used in class, certified teachers to teach us, and some students that doesn’t want to learn period. Dropout rates are over 70
% of students which don’t meet their goal line.
The school board and city schools are almost the same. They both have the problem with what they need to do about student dropping out and the graduation rate. Personally I would want for the graduation rate to be much higher 100% if possible for everybody. It would give not only there school, but also the state of Lousisiana a much better look.

Your school > my school
My sociology class recently watched a video about the government and school system in New Orleans. Some focus questions that were brought up were racial change in power in city hall , the city's school board and the relationship between the school board and the city's schools. I found the previous week very interesting because I had a lot to say about it.
When thinking about the population of New Orleans it is majority Black. According to the video whites were the ones who moved to the suburbs because of crime and schools. Little do they know problems are everywhere and are hard to escape. Meanwhile the racial power in city hall has moved in the hands of the black folks. Well there is 70% of us in New Orleans.
In my last post I talked about how I would create my school system. I think it will be very successful. The city hall members in the video seemed to have somewhat of the same mind frame as myself... It's all in the COMMUNITY! Did you know that New Orleans has the highest murder rate in the nation. It takes a village to raise a child. So what is the village doing now? That's a good question to ask ourselves.
When it comes to the relationship between the school board and the city's school (in my opinion) I find it
Poor. I am a student in the city's school and I find things to be unorganized. Most of the people working for the school system seem confused and not interested. Where's the dedication? Where's the new books? Where's the smaller classrooms? Where's the money to provide our need !? We need to do better than this. I can't blame everything in the staff because sometimes it's the students too. Everyone needs to get on their "A" game and we can rise above al in excellence !
