A New Form of Segregation: Magnet & Neighborhood Schools
September 12, 2008 07:51 PM PDT
Magnet and neighborhood schools are different. Magnet schools get more freedom, funding, and resources. And neighborhood schools are usually considered 'hard-to-staff'and dangerous. This piece explores the stereotypes that neighborhood students and magnet students have about each other, and how students are kept apart. Produced by Amber Marie Felton & Ruth Kodish Eskind. |
Podcast SummaryOn Blast is an organizing tool for the Philadelphia Student Union. On Blast represents the needs and interests of young people. We know that mainstream media doesn’t have our interests in mind when they broadcast their news, or play commercial music. The owners of mainstream media use their content to maintain the status quo; their framework comes from a place of sexism, racism, militarization and class oppression. At On Blast, we choose subject matter that amplifies the voices of those not being heard; those who are routinely hurt and misrepresented by the dominant media. About PhiladelphiaThe Philadelphia Student Union exists to build the power of young people to demand a high quality education in the Philadelphia public school system. We are a youth-led organization and we make positive changes in the short term by learning how to organize to build power. We also work toward becoming life-long learners and leaders who can bring diverse groups of people together to address the problems that our communities face.
