I live in the US, not Canada, and if I watch TV, I have more interesting/entertaining things to watch then a debate about a black school in another country. Please tell straight up what exactly you're debating about in school.

Even more summing up.

Once again, the purpose of the black school (coming from the pros side) is for those blacks who are struggling in school (not those who are doing good but those struggling), can go there were they believe, they will improve due to an afro-centric education plus black motivation. Now we on the cons side think that's crap as 1.If your struggling in school(in particular high school) there is alot of help available for you(as seen in the jimmy story). 2.Just move to locally developed classes for god sake. There, all you do is like 5 pages of homework a month and your given cheat sheets for tests. It would be impossible to fail that unless your i.q is lower then a door. 3. Upkeep for the school would be very expensive to keep as all they would be doing is sucking money from the government while at the same time the government is paying for it. 4.If you want a black education then go to a black private school which are run much more perfectly then a school open to all blacks. 5.It sucks

If the government isn't paying for it and it's open for anyone, how is this hurting anyone?

Not, enough, energy, to continue, summing up, black school.

How is not doing work to play basketball while the white kid gets the help that he needs any different from the black kid not doing work to "watch B.E.T and eat a bucket of fried chicken"?
Also, do you know how differently a school like that would be run from a basic, average high school? It's not like it'll just be another school with normal teachers and the same program as the other one, but a different pool of students. They would have teachers with additional training, more practical and applicable classes, definitely a different disciplinary system, etc. You seem to be thinking that high school councilors can solve any problem. THEY CAN'T. PLEASE MOVE AWAY FROM THAT DELUSION BEFORE CONTINUING TO POST. I'm also going to make a guess that you're a mid- to upper-class caucasian who doesn't know why gangs exist. Ever heard of the concept of social mobility? It's where anyone can change social classes freely if they try. If you're born poor, you don't have to die poor. That concept is disappearing, or at least it is here in the United States. People who can't afford the costs of education stay poor, join a gang, and then force the ones that can, but just barely, to be part of their 'crew'. It's that, dropping out of high school to work at a minimum wage job to support the single mother (or father), or trying to get through school with the threat of getting shot hanging over their head. In the U.S., current tax laws are taking money from education to send it to the military and the rich, in tax cuts. If there's at least something even close to like that in Canada, a school that you described (without the biased "it sucks") would be good, because it would be another thing to use in lobbying for more money in education, even if it doesn't help the students you quickly assume it won't.

Why not answer his question instead?

Go,Go Gadget counter offense!

Theres not alot of difference between the public and the black version. The only difference is longer suspensions (a.k.a vacation in black terms)but not expulsions. (Sources pending)

That's what they're paid to do and if they cant then you got a crappy councilor. Or if you can't go to them, then go to the teachers. 'Nuff said.

You got a 1/7 chance of picking the right race.

Well, thats America. In Canada, we have the same concept. If you're poor you don't stay poor forever unless you choose that. But here you can get help. That's what living in a 1st world country does. Not something like in Africa were you're parents are dead and you have to join the army. So I fail to see why those blacks are dropping out when they have everything they need.

But we already determined an outcome that is most likely to succeed. This school didn't have any planning (at the beginning) what so ever. It was just "black school, now". It's just segregation all over again but making Canada look ridiculous at the same time.

And the government said no. What's the problem here?

So let's say your neighbor threatens to shoot you if you don't hang out with him. You go to your councilor for that?

hang out with him until you have a plan for counter attacking

JordanN: This school apparently is going to be privately funded. That is, the government won't back it.
As such, they can pretty much do whatever the heck they want. Are you going to go to a Christian private school and try to say they can't have a school? That's more or less what you're doing.

As Centreri said, what's your point? Are you just trying to say that the school will be lame?

Are you trying to say that the government should not fund it? If so, that's fine they're not.

Are you trying to say they shouldn't even be allowed to make such a school?

Are you saying that the school will just be racist because it won't allow white people? If so, then I have this reply: It's a private school they can do whatever the heck they want.

I didn't read the entire topic.. but..
Black students get to pick either school, does that mean white students can't go to the other one?

This is fucked up on so many levels..

You Canadians sure are racist!

I'd say something else, but I pretty much agree with frazz.

I had to recharge. Now Rant mode set to over 9000 percent.
Irrelevant.
There still trying to get the governments appeal.
Lol wut?
Only against black schools whose purpose has a crappy meaning.
Please reread over topic. You seemed to miss a chunk about that.
It's realy more of a public, private, public school +black focus.
Coming from an American.

Didnt the government say yes? Several weeks ago on several networks (CTV and Global mainly), they began speculation on how the school went. The day after the election, the primary vote was YES, they want a black school. THe only problem is, even if blacks wanted their own school, they should be denied it. Wanting to learn about you heritage is one thing. Wanting to succeed in life is another. There are multi-cultural establishments worldwide, and shitloads in the general GTA area as well. Even I go to a Viet school to learn about my heritage (moreso). Many people attend extra-curricular activities to boost their knowledge, so in conclusion, the formation of a black school is not just racist, it is intollerable.

1) If people want to be successful in the real world, they must work hard or bribe their way through life
2) If black people want their own school, tell them to screw off, make a languages school on Saturdays or Sundays to teach the kids.
3) If the top fails, and a black school is formed, then what? They change the curriclum and have lower standards to let people become hobos? Is this the society we really want, or is it just an oppinion that not we are racist, but those who appeal for the black school.

What do you call a school with one black kid? A problem.
What do you call a school with ten black kids? A bigger problem.
What do you call a school with only black kids? No problem...

Viet-X and Moose wins the thread. Can't define it any other way.

So they're racial supremacist bastards because they want the government to fund their little project. Thankfully, as far as I know the government is saying no, so either this school won't exist or it'll be privately funded, and as long as it is, no one really cares about it. Let them do what they want with their own money. Still not much reason to argue.

Oh, and lol@Canada if government eventually says yes. I DESIRE A RUSSIAN SCHOOL. WHY? BECAUSE AFRICANS GET A SCHOOL. SO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SO? YOU'RE RACIST!

Therefore, topic useless.

/Closed

I like how Jordan agrees with a post that is an utter contradiction to his point, and proceeds to consider the debate a draw on his part.


And devilesk, lolwut?
