Gentrification is not a unique issue for Chicago by a long shot. Nor is poor school funding in Black neighborhoods.
I could pull up dozens of articles reflecting the same issues in other inner city neighborhoods around the country.

What I'm addressing is the uniquely higher need for employment there.
And how that makes this new rule somewhat logical.

Hope that makes sense.

Gentrification isn't the topic its a sidebar. Yes, poor funding is something that happens in our communities but like pretty much everything in life, the degree to which it extends or impacts vary.


Well you have your own definition of what is logical. I personally don't see how placing yet another barrier for some of these kids barely making it to their senior year, who are having to survive hiking to some of these "better" neighborhoods, and who come from areas without education, jobs, or overall support is helpful. Not even taking to account familial and cultural barriers.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions I guess.

And my opinion is that lil Jaquan from Chicago is less likely to spend his gap year broadening his horizons and doing world traveling, and is more likely to spend it getting in trouble or shot down by a cop for wandering around in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Okay,

Im not sure what this has to do with what you and I began conversing about.

I also think if you actually look at everything  I presented in context "world traveling" is also problematic.

i didnt get the connection either but

Ah got ya.

Interesting that it didnt go anywhere after I addressed you with a different perspective when you pretty much posted the article as a means to solidify/hail your stance. You didn't even address that.

Thanks for the discussion though.😉

I like this
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

so dumb

how bout you shut the fuck up

no one dictates what  you do when you graduate  cause that has nothing to do with high school if you earned your diploma you earned it like...

lol @ grades do you know how many niggas are d and c students?

and coming up with ways to "beat" the system is dumb cause the system is wrong to propose this from jump so having ppul beat it defeats the original purpose and is equally just as dumb

what are you arguing? C students can get diplomas and jobs/go to college boy go eat

Ray did you just brush off (black) low income kids skipping school like it's of no consequence

We have to be more mindful of the struggles of ALL our ppl. Some kids skip school because they have nothing to wear or they stink or they're parents don't have means for babysitters for younger siblings

Let's UP the requirements and have less graduates so we can compound that issue

I hate when things like this happen and ppl don't think of the long term damaged or implications. It just makes things worse

they have nothing to do with this topic
no ones upping any requirement. If a student has the grades to graduation
any local community college will accept them or even fast food/retail
I worked at a library part time starting in my senior year.
We gotta stop the excuses
