untitled?

so I'm at Bluford and we work with their afterschool program whose coordinator is a little off. She screams and her language simply does not appeal to the five year olds sitting next to me licking the same finger he just tied his shoe with. Then there's this guy who comes in and teaches them karate, which is great! Often times, when kids misbehave, he'll go, "Drop and give me 10!" to six year old Keron who has no idea what that means. Last week, I was working with one kid I was assigned (by the screaming coordinator) to because he has a behavior problem, and I noticed that he has some sort of mild dyslexia, and hardly does his homework, then suddenly I was swamped with four other kids who needed help too. As you can imagine, It was difficult to focus just on the one kid. And lastly there's this bald man who has no idea what his purpose is, one day he's making boys do push-ups, the next he's passing homework assignments. My point is, the adults around these kids don't seem to connect with them or have the desire to. It seems like its just another job and what I fear is that the kids can't look to an adult as someone who cares for them and consider them valuable. The mere language is something that goes right over their heads and so there hardly is a response because the adults have not met these kids where they're at.
The adults are not paying attention to the children which is why ADHD, dyslexia, or any learning disorders goes unnoticed until the tenth grade where they are on the verge of dropping out. School is one of the major agents of socialization and at a very early age, kids can determine who cares and who doesn't, and with the exception of educators who sincerely care, many of them are underqualified or in the position they're in because of money. I remember when I was in a Philly school, my english teacher used to hustle bootlegged DVDs and CDs on 52nd and Chestnut before he thought us. Do you see the affects of social inequalities on this part? Especially in the Philadelphia School District, these children, our children, or inevitably given the short end of the stick... this is why I do service, ( and I'm sure most of you guys can agree) its because we give a damn.
