did everyone read the actual article?
It says you have to have college acceptance, a job or military enlisted
if you have the grades to get your diploma I don't see how none of these options would be possible Black or not. and tbh if you wanna beat this all you have to do is get accepted to a junior/community college real quick until graduation
don't even have to really attend

Not everyone knows what they wanna do post highschool.  Some people wanna defer for a yr. U shouldnt be able to dictate to someone what they need to be doing in order to get sumn they worked for.  "GRADES!"
I just want u once, just one time to think beyond the scope of what u see

this isn't about a career though. If you don't know what you want to do that's fine but all this is saying is while you're deferring a year
get a 9-5 and pay some bills. Are you looking beyond what you see?
Sounds like the complaint is for ppl to stay at home for a year making their parents or someone take care of them while they decide what to do
that does nothing but waste time and create laziness

Boy most people (blacks) meet the bare minimum to graduate. Some don't have the luxury of just going to school and getting good excellent grades. Some don't even have college or military dreams.

This is just dumb.

who said anything about EXCELLENT grades?
If you meet the bare minimum then you definitely can get a job at at least McDonald's or something, which would qualify the person to get their diploma. The only ppl that will be harmed by this are lazy niggas who don't wanna do shit with their life after they get their diploma

n

I'm 100% sure if this was implemented during your generation you'd have a different tune. It's so easy after you've had time to grow and find your way to sit back and say how you think it should be. It ain't that easy for everyone.

There is a reason these black boys are out here selling drugs and robbing people for a come up.

I had a job already in my Senior year of High School
it was just a part time job but it was a start
so no this would be perfect for my generation
but tbh I'm not all the way where I want to be in life but I never wanna
stop trying to make ends meet in some way
the reason these guys are out here hustling is because nothing like this has been done before to make them do SOMETHING with themselves before it's too late. If these boys are forced into a job or college they won't have time to be out in these streets

!!!!! Diplomas should be based on the work you've done, not what you intend to do months down the line

This is dumb. a lot of people take breaks after high school, everyone's situation isn't the same.

what a strong assumption to make smh

Hmmmm. I kinda don't see the problem..... It's not forcing anyone to go to college, it's just motivating kids to have a plan after they graduate from high school. I don't think they care if it's McDonald's, you just need to be doing something. Which is what parents should be implementing to their children regardless....

I don't think anyone knew at the age of 18 what they wanted to do in life.... But I don't think that means sit at home until you finally figure it out at the age of 25. The main part of going to college, working, ect. is for personal growth and development so you CAN figure out what you want to do in life.

Yea this guy is going off on facebook about this.

what are your thoughts?

hell-fucking-o

he's ignoring you bitch
And I love it

I mean, it doesn't take a diploma to recognize tha obvious

there's pretty much no other option

Everybody can't afford college whether local, public or private. Minimum wage jobs can't hire the whole community and basic entry level positions want an associate degree or bachelor's so what else is there for them to do? If they working at McDonald's making 8.80 an hour, how are they going to live and thrive? Jobs aren't what they used to be. Promotional opportunities are no longer being promoted from within so people are stuck bouncing from one job to another never really building any type of craft or career.


This country is so fucked.

Honestly this sounds like a problem for middle class families who can give children the luxury of NOT going to school after graduating

Not poor black families. Never really seen a 18 year old black kid jobless that lived at home(unless he went to school)

EXACTLY, like what is anyone talking about in here?

Maybe its not a bad idea to let them go off for a while to do what they'd like.
Before PUSHING them out into the real world. (keeping up with bills, tuition, etc.)

I went to Sweden at 17 by myself for a couple months and its an experience I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

Sure I could do it now , but I dunno, its different when you do these things when you're much younger, naive, and still looking at the world through rose-colored glasses.

You really get to ENJOY it. Not think "ugh gotta be to work soon." or a budget and mess, the entire time you're there.

I think that's why I'm not totally with this. They're making post-high school life seem like some sort of prison or box.

!!!! Again, everyones situation isn't the same.

[b7]

No one should be forced into more school or work until they're ready. Period. 

No one said wait until age 25. n
