NEWARK Schools get $100,000,000 hookup from Facebook CEO

[big pimp]

it's not the schools, it's the people. That money would be better off in an area where the kids actually wanted to learn.

c/s.

that whole area of NJ is a piece of shit
east orange, irvington, newark: worse than any shit i seen in NYC.

Compared to what Brownsville? Are you fuckin me? Brownsville is currently under Marshall Law last time I checked. People walking down the street are subject to random searches for any given reason. It doesnt get any worse than that. Grown ass niggas still living in the projects with there mamas and dont see anything wrong with it. They only come out side to play basketball, and stand on the corner to sell or do dope So please NJ will never get as bad as NY. Ever.

You are delusional. There are plenty of kids who have no interest in learning. They want to cut school, stay home, fuck, get high or drunk, be the class clown. I've never heard anything as ridiculous as kids being brainwashed into not wanting to learn.

I have hope ..... I've seen Good & I've seen the Potential

I do not dispute that there are Kids who do have no interest in learning

However.. when there is applause for being ignorant & ridicule for wanting to learn that is a form of brainwashing and it is all around in our society.

When kids are in first second and third grade They love knowledge

Something happens in 4th grade. They start to learn what is cool.
Being a fool and not giving a fuck get u interest from girls & respect from dudes. This too is a form of brainwashing

Maybe its easier to use the phrase Conditioning instead of Brainwashing

When there is no culture of rewarding the smart child Children are not going to strive to be that

Drinking Smoking Cutting & Ignorance class gets you Pussy & respect in the hood... Therefore you are getting a reward for these Vices (that is positive Reinforcement)

Being smart doing your work and staying focused gets you No ass & your pockets tapped .. (This is Negative Reinforcement)

Then there are parents who did not grow up with an emphasis on education because of the same factors they kids are subjected to.. so they don't stress its importance

Now add
the media that reinforces all these Negative things to our people .. They tell us THIS is who we are ...

This is how our kids are conditioned/brainwashed into not wanting to learn

^^^ interesting I have worked w/ 2 kids who I got to see in 2 different learning environments...in a predominantly black school and a mixed school...when those kids cut up in the "black" school they had a huge audience for their bullshit and focused on being cool and not their work...the 2 same exact kids were transferred to a "mixed" school...1st time they tried to cut up...the other students looked @ them like wtf and then went back to work...a couple months later both children were model students after learning they wouldn't be rewarded in their new environment for the antics they thought were "cool"
