[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 06:29 I would agree that it is not appropriate to remove children from their families and cultures, but there is a cultural change that does desperately need to happen. That being, that education needs to be valued, that it needs to be taught and reinforced that education and hard work is what will lift one from poverty and difficult circumstance, nothing else will. Consider that much in current "culture" is transitory; appearance, dress, and habits generally just a few decades old at most (the great-grandparents of today's urban youth were nothing like today's urban youth), whereas Native Americans had a culture millennia deep that was disrupted.[/quote] This sounds right to me. The question is how to change the culture? Obviously firing teachers and extensive test prep is not the way, but it's all the current admin knows.[/quote]
