Do You Think Some People Are Segragated ?

Hi this is Martin and Arison and we have a question to ask. Do you think some people are segregated ?
We saw a movie with our class and it is called Little Rock High School.This video showed us how this school is still segregated .One thing that they showed was black students on one side of a class room and white student's on the other side. after42 year of segregation now in the school they the first president African American.


This had us wondering why can't teachers put a program for students to talk and meet each other ? There where two things that bothered us in this movie . The first reason was that most of the African American students are in lower classes and three or four black students in the higher classes. The second reason was that white students get to ride there own car's and only the only African American student who is the president of the school. The third reason was that they take buses because they are afraid to walk to there houses because they might get robed on the way home by people in there own neighborhood.


In this film the white student's live in wealthy neighborhoods and African American students live in unhealthy neighborhoods. Also most of the African American people are in horrible reading levels there levels of passing are low.

  1. You make many interesting points in this post that got me thinking. First, what do you mean by "same right"? I also feel like the situations in Little Rock are unfair but I also think it's so complicated. Why do you think that many black students are not in higher level classes?

  2. Well some students may not be in higher level classes because they either don't pay attention in school or they just don't bother with school.They probably just go to school to just be there and they don't focuse on their school work.Sometimes they focuse on other things.
    The school should have like a class where all the kids can talk and get to know eachother instead of being seprated.
