THE SCHOOL IS NOT ALL-BLACK, NOR IS IT SEGREGATED.

IT IS FOR ANY KID OF ANY COLOUR OR RACE TO ATTEND.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL AND THE MAINSTREAM SCHOOL IS SOME OF THE CURRICULUM, BUT IT STILL MEETS THE EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS OF THE REST OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.

MAYBE YOU WON'T SEND YOUR WHITE KID TO AN AFRICENTRIC SCHOOL, BUT MY WHITE PARTNER AND MY WHITE SELF WILL SEND OUR WHITE KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE WE WANT OUR KIDS TO UNDERSTAND CANADA'S HISTORY AND CULTURE FROM MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES - NOT JUST AMERICA'S.

KIDS DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL MAY BE A CIRCUMSTANCE OF MANY SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL ISSUES, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO PROBLEMS WITH PARENTS/FAMILY, POVERTY, SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT OR LACK THEREOF, MEDIA/CULTURE, RACISM/PREJUDICE, ETC.

OF COURSE CANADA IS NOT ABOUT RACISM, YOU FUCKBOT!

WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE ISSUES BEFORE YOU PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS TO MAKE SOME NOISE?

From the TDSB website:
"An Africentric Alternative school infuses the sources of knowledge and experience of people of African descent as an integral feature of the teaching and learning environment."

Let me spell it out for you: In schools in Ontario, history is centred around European history -- the British and French people who came over on the boats and landed on the rocks and colonized this great big land we call C-A-N-A-D-A.

There are, however, minority groups who call Canada home too (SURPRISE!!!). They also have a history that is a little bitty bit different than the Europeans, but the silly schools (like the one your daughter goes to in a different school board, idiot) don't think that's important because, hey there are only two 'token' black kids, so who cares about them, right? They'll probably just drop out anyway....

Wait a minute... maybe kids dropping out of school is a BAD thing.... and, and, maybe, just maybe, it would be helpful and empowering for the black kids to learn about their own ancestors and the "black (African-Canadian, et. al.) experience" which does NOT consist of 'gangstas' and 'bone-thugs' and 'bitches' and 'hoes' etc etc.

So, now, where were we? Oh, right! We're trying to empower and educate black youths about African-Canadian History and encourage them to complete their schooling! The TDSB has many Alternative schools which centre on smaller, focused groups within the mainstream student population (which is a pretty big one). An Africentric Alternative school would simply be keeping with the TDSB policies.

To answer your silly question about adjusting the curriculum: It will take a lot more time and a lot more TAXPAYER MONEY to rehaul the curriculum across the board! It is simpler and more efficient to set up one or two spaces and give parents and students the option to attend the alternative model or the mainstream model, than it is to change the entire curriculum. That's one of the reasons why the TDSB has a policy on alternative schools. Now, that's not to say that the curriculum will never change, but it's easier to test and develop new curriculum on a small scale.

Why don't you try reading something OTHER than GFY and get yourself a little clue there, boy?

How does cost lessen the value of it? Do you really think 'testing' historical curriculum in this format is reasonable? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Its demeaning to them as a community and culture to not include their Canadian history in the curriculum.

You think opening one school in one community is anything more than servicing a special interest group? Please tell me you're joking.
