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

Im arguing its none of your fucking business what i do when i graduate

if you're a resident in my city where I'm the mayor it is my business

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

i mean I can't comment cause I don't know your upbringing

I can't assume you were afforded some opportunities that some don't get but

Me personally, I got blessed with great parents that cared.

I'm just saying not everyone's situation is the same bighead

And that's why I put "conversation" in quotations. At no point were we really conversing, as I honestly didn't pay much attention to anything you posted.

Understandable, another interesting point though. Especially considering how you seem to proclaim how you enjoy a certain type of interaction that allows folks to have different perspectives and remain adult, respectful, and non-shady.

Maybe if you actually paid attention more you wouldn't become so disgruntled or "unbothered" when your perspective is well... stomped out- for a lack of better phrase lolz.

I would love to see this facade you're trying to keep up actually become a reality love.

this doesn't have anything to do with parents or situations
all it's about is making young adults responsible for themselves

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.

how is this a "barrier" for anyone? It's about the diploma
if a kid is eligible to get a diploma they're automatically eligible for the things that the program is forcing them to get (a college acceptance, job, military enrollment, etc.)

I really think you're coming from a personal place rather than looking at context and different lived experiences.

A kid is eligible for a diploma based on their performance in school. Nothing afterward. Some kids do not go to college, its not for everyone. Same for the military.

To force kids to have engagement with either (especially military) just to receive something they already earned is criminal. Especially taking into account that not having a diploma will effectively hinder their gross income potential(may affect their families), they would have to remain in school after completing all courses, they would be forced to engage in something they may not even want to do.

All of this may even push them back to the communities that they were tryna get away from.

(sigh) what are gap years

not going to college after high school for a year or more to focus on working, traveling, etc.

well yeah i think everyone should be entitled to choose
like you have to go to school for those 12 years and then to turn around and say you have to do this when you graduate or you cant graduate is so dumb
