SOCIAL SEGREGATION

Reading and class discussion

• Social class and segregation
• In our schools there is a mixture of whites,
  blacks, Asians, and Hispanics  that walk through
  these halls together every day as friends and
  classmates.  There are interracial relationships
  in these schools as well.  Still, even today,
  some people think in a racist way that offends
  people.

Social classes

• In some communities, poor black families
  live in horrible living conditions.  Most
  middle-class families live in suburbia.  In the
  late 1960's most urban black people were locked
  into deteriorated, and almost completely
  segregated ghettos.  Public housing funds were
  unavailable at this time, even though people were
  trying to develop public housing. Still, since
  the 1970s, there is a growing black middle class
  that is competing with the white majority for
  jobs and other resources.

Social classes

•   Also in the 1960s De facto school segregation
  was a problem.  Racial separation was partly
  created by the location of schools.  White school
  boards that made decisions could be accused of
  allowing this segregation because they selected
  sites for new schools.  Housing segregation
  intensified when whites looked for homes in area
  by "good white schools."

Effects / why is it so bad?

• The effects of social class can be felt anywhere.
  Almost every aspect of society is influenced in
  some manner by social class. The magazines one
  reads, the television shows one watches, and the
  clothes a person buys affect social class.
  School, work, religious, and home lives are also
  linked to the influence of social classesRead

Social Classes and Success at School

• Social class and segregation are such a
  significant factors that they even have an effect
  on the children's learning and their
  exam success at school.
• Children should not be segregated at school
  because that would certainly create even greater
  gaps between children of the same school and
  furthermore between people in general.
