I watched Watch “Systemic Racism Explained” from Act.TV
The video explains why and how kids a miles apart can have a totally different path in life. To think our zip codes control our destinies. From smaller class sizes, to after school sports and teachers with enough good resources there are many factors that should not control a kids potential. I was lucky enough to have a tutor when i needed it, play many after school activities and lived in a suburb area. It makes me think of the flyers I receive in mt mailbox for my students for afterschool sports and activities, I remember on student saying it was $90 and he just rips it up without taking the paper home. Now before I give them out I ask the main office if there is any sort of scholarship or cost covering support so the students feel more willing to ask their parents cause they know their parents work a ton of hours to support their family.
