Former CPS teacher and principal Assata Moore joins David Seaton for a candid conversation about the educational crisis facing many Black students in Chicago and across America.
Reading scores are declining. Math proficiency remains alarmingly low. Classroom discipline has deteriorated. At the same time, many political activists and media figures insist that systemic racism and white supremacy are the primary explanations for these outcomes.
Assata Moore and David Seaton examine a different perspective.
This discussion explores the role that culture, family structure, personal responsibility, discipline, academic expectations, and community standards may play in shaping educational outcomes. The conversation also addresses controversial topics such as “ghetto graduations,” teen takeovers, disruptive classroom behavior, declining respect for authority, and the normalization of anti-academic attitudes in some communities.
Can a society thrive when academic achievement is mocked? What happens when discipline disappears from homes and classrooms? Why are so many leaders reluctant to discuss culture as a factor in educational success?
Join us for an honest and thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional narratives and asks difficult questions about the future of education and Black America.
