Hackney was one of a number of local authorities identified by the Centre for Social Justice working as part of the IntegratED partnership to reduce preventable exclusions, which had a disproportionality in fixed-term exclusions for the 2018/19 school year.
Good grief, what a collection of fakecharities and lobby groups, all we need is a 'youth justice wor...'
Oh. Right on cue.
Local youth worker and campaigner Luke Billingham said it is a “disgrace and an injustice”.
“Youth workers and other youth professionals across the borough have been raising concerns about these issues for many years.
“We’ve all sat in too many school meetings in which parents and students have been stereotyped, belittled or patronised. We’ve all known students with immense academic potential get treated punitively and unfairly, in discriminatory ways.
“These statistics reflect deep-seated problems in Hackney education.”
Yes, I'm sure all the excluded little cherubs are future geniuses, if only the schools would overlook their habits, Luke...
He described it as a “complex issue”, pointing to wider national issues, such as austerity, Department for Education policies and incredibly difficult working conditions for teachers affecting local educational problems.
So these kids are playing up because their teacher has a lot of extra work? Hmmm. Seems legit.
The study also found the borough’s 137 pupils of Irish traveller heritage were just over twice as likely to be excluded, with six incidences found in 2018/19, a rate of just over four per 100 pupils.
Well, well, well. It's not just black kids? It's also other kids from cultures which don't prize learning or obediance to the social mores of the country they are living in? Fancy that!
Luke said senior leadership teams need to be “brave”.
“Hackney is one of the most multicultural places in the country, and should excel at providing an equitable education for people from all cultural backgrounds, if it is to be ‘a place for everyone’.
“Instead, it remains a place which privileges white, middle class people, in all sorts of ways, but particularly in our education system.”
Are there even any white, middle class people in Hackney? Apart, that is, for self-loathing social justice warriors like Luke?

No, it isn't cos you is black, its because you is a useless parasitic twat who expects trophies for turning up and rewards for behaving like a savage. If you don't like the system which is the same for everyone, fuck off to somewhere that is more to your taste, its not like you'll be missed.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that 90 odd percent of state school students in Hackney are Bame with at least 50% black.
ReplyDeleteI bet that the Asian minority section of The BAME are not whingeing.
ReplyDeleteThey are bunged in along with The BAME just make it look as if BAME is not Racist.
A solution. Set up a special exclusion class, where children (any called "kids" are automatically classed as normal and stick with the BAMES) are treated harshly and forced to learn. Their educational materials are restricted to one pen, one pencil, a ruler and lined paper. None of the other paints, plasticine, bongos, tambourines, lap-tops and e-pads etc. that the normal children get. They will be forced to sit at forward facing desks.
The teachers will be ruthless ladies and gentlemen who have not had the benefit of Teacher Training College, but will have entered teaching after having had a real job.
This gruelling regime will be only be available to those who are guilty of unconscious predudice. Not those who admit to prejudice.
That should teach them.

ReplyDeleteSpot on.

Me too!
"I bet that the Asian minority section of The BAME are not whingeing."
The truly 'Asian' part, not the part that gets called that when 'Pakistani' is what is really meant?
