| Abstract | Education can help eliminate prejudice and form ethical attitudes. Unfortunately, education is not always such a positive force. Today, many majority youngsters leave our schools with excellent mathematics and reading skills, but with attitudes of racial bias and hatred that grossly contrast with democratic ideals. At the same time, we allow many minority youngsters to leave our schools without the quality education and meaningful skills they need. Many of these young people leave school as dropouts or pushouts, very bitter and disillusioned. There are several key factors, however, that can help majority youth assess their view toward racial and lower income minorities. These same factors may be instrumental in helping minority youth reassess their self-image, self-dignity and essential worth. This paper focuses on: (1) the concept of neutrality or objectivity as it affects those in our society who would be advocates for social change; (2) the role of the educational environment in reshaping academic achievement; and, (3) the very significant role that teacher attitudes can play in fostering academic achievement. The initial focus is on the consequences of mideducation: Examining the forces of advocacy, environment and attitudes, we may discover ways to eliminate disillusionment and discontent. (Author/JM) |
