Hip-Hop Learning in NYC's Spanish-Speaking Public Schools: The New York Times Pretends to Take This Shit Seriously
"Preparing for Sate Tests, to a Hip-Hop Beat"
The football-shaped mestizos in this photo are actually recently-imported Dominican-Republicans. They speakee no Englee, they are about 17, in their prime child-bearing years (for those who have not already self-multiplied), and at taxpayer expense the New York City public school system is "Giving Street Culture A Place in th Classroom to Aid Hard-To-Reach Students," and while attempting to keep a straight face, the New York Times claims to be down with that.

HOW DO I REACH THESE KEYS ??!!
Heh. As a former teacher, first thing I always had to do was take the street out of the kid and announce it had no place in school
This is hypocritical as hell. Street culture involves lying, getting over on, dressing to deliberately stand out as NOT the norm, listening to noises exploited to create anger and emotion, misogyny, and praising money no matter how it's gotten (i.e., pimp as top-of-food-chain).
Now we know damn well that's not what they're teaching here. So what they mean is, we'll pretend your noises are music and your graffiti is art, and you pretend you're learning something.
Note the dynamics in pic: the workshirt, the Third World hair, and exagerrated expression of the instructor, small group as disciples sitting around him, no personal space, white girl on left looking bored or embaressed, pretty black girl on left smirking slyly as instructor plays director to her.
Uh-huh.
To the Teacher (2:20pm) : None, but I mean NONE of the girls in that photo are white.
Football.
Shaped.
Mestizos.
Oy !
