GANG WORKSHOP BRINGS OUT DOZENS OF EDUCATORS
By Profesor Martin Danenberg "El Quijote del GED"
PAY PAL NOTICE
Something new in 2010. You can now order the GED program. It is so simple! Click on the word clic above my article (in the white section on the right). By clicking you can go to my website and find "Services" to order the GED program in English or Spanish. See the Pay Pal there. Thank you for taking this important, powerful step in your life. I really hope that a job or higher education awaits you, even induction into the military. Your future is important!
First of all, the GED picture is extremely bad for schools and/or neighborhoods at risk (making police action necessary all or much of the time). This problem is not just about schools and their selfish interests. Know the number of GED diplomas among adults in your zip code. Get my GED program to mobilize people fast. Dropout prevention really means helping the 1.2 million students who drop out with a last minute initiative and I have the program to help those youth by working with school personnel. Do you really want to help those youth or not? That is the question. Latinos are always asking for Hispanic sensitivity from teachers (often African-Americans on Long Island) and they want more Hispanic teachers. This problem is not new and has been around since the 1960's. Hispanics could almost double the number of teachers if they did not drop out of high school (but they do drop out and there is no teacher's college for them). The dropout rate from Santo Domingo's public schools was recently 75 percent and the dropout rate in Puerto Rico is high (they do not have African-American teachers there). ESL students can obtain books to accelerate their acquisition of English and their parents could benefit from the same books. Contact me for more information about this. There really are solutions. Let us move the gang members away from guns and violence and toward diplomas, jobs, and higher education.
I attended a gang meeting with Nassau County police and school staff from more than a dozen schools in Suffolk County. Although gangs in our area seem to stay put in their communities, it seems that some gang members are coming from Queens into Nassau and other gang members in Nassau are moving around to other towns. Nassau claims success right at this moment in cutting down on shootings because it has installed a shot sensor that alerts the police within a minute. Other attacks are up in some towns and not up in many other towns, attacks by stabbing or beating victims with bats, etc.
Heroin has now become a serious problem and it is now a "code" among arrests. Gangs are being handled effectively, but school cliques present a problem that could worsen into gang activity (full blown). Gang members are wearing rosaries, but it has no religious meaning whatsoever.
heroin rosary snitches no snitching school cliques segregation of ESL students
Hispanics feel they need more Hispanic personnel to communicate with Hispanic teachers
feelings that day workers and other Hispanics are mistreated
youth do not know the real meaning of wearing jeans well below the waist
