All right, I’m going to talk about question 2. Reflecting upon injustices I have experienced, seen, or heard about that impact school communities. How might these injustices be disrupted or changed? And what would school communities look like if such iniustices were eradicated and if healing and humanity were centered? So this is what I’m going to talk about. It’s more of a general issue. It’s more about communities being school communities and in particular being divided. This is according to the US Government Accountability Office, during the 2020 to 21 school year, more than 1/3 of students in the US attended schools where 75% or more of students were of a single race or ethnicity. Even as a general US public school population grows in diversity over the years, a lot of schools still remain divided. This mostly has to do with school district boundaries. So like for example, one school might have might lie in an area that is predominantly white and another school might lie in an area that is predominantly black. And since they’re in different districts, the general population of those areas go to those schools, which is why they are divided. So ways to combat this issue. One of them. Now these are just ways like general ideas because I’m I mean I don’t really have time to go in depth with this, but like open enrollment would be 1. so meaning you could live in one school district and would be allowed to attend school in another district, maybe a district close to you. I know a lot of schools, a lot of school districts already allow this, but some don’t. Like I know Pma, I grew up in Parma. Parma does not allow open enrollment, at least not to my knowledge. Another way would be to combine school districts and make them bigger. So I think this would expand, obviously expand the boundaries and allow a larger population to fall into one district, which could allow more more communities and just a larger population. People, more backgrounds, ethnic and racial backgrounds would follow to one district rather than the districts being condensed and smaller and only allowing the peep the people of that community go to school there. So what going to school in a non diverse environment can do what definitely does not help when talking about racism. You know you’re growing up, say you’re a white student growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood. Obviously going to school in a predominantly white environment is not going to introduce you to other racial and ethnic backgrounds. So if school communities were more diverse, introducing students to more ethnic and racial backgrounds at a young age would help a lot in terms of just getting people used to other backgrounds that they might not be used to. It helps students understand that everyone is different, and that’s what makes us all unique. And there have even been studies that show that students feel safer learning in more diverse environments rather than learning in divided environments like it is with a lot of schools. So that’s just something that I know that goes on in the education system around the world or around the country in particularly. And I think it should be changed, and I think it will be changed, but it’s obviously not going to change right away. It’s going to take a long time, but over time I hope that schools can grow more diverse, even though the general population is growing more diverse. I hope individual school districts can grow more diverse and help introduce students to more ethnic and racial backgrounds that they want to be used to.
