The AFFLUENT GHETTO The Affluent Ghetto is a project in progress started by Jessica Ramos focusing on social justice within urban education highlighting the disparities within education, especially in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods predominantly seen in areas of color.  Our goal is to close the gap in achievement, bringing opportunities to students so they can have the tools for success.  The Affluent Ghetto believes awareness is the first step in facilitating change.  We want to personally thank CEO/Founder Louis Gray of the Gray’s Project for his continued support and collaboration.   Mr. Gray is known for being selective and only endorses organizations he has verified and is familiar with. The Affluent Ghetto is a new project but has made some great strides for its presence in the community and with local families within the central Florida area.  The Affluent Ghetto will continue to work with the Gray’s Project and their mission of one child at a time.  The Affluen

Gray's Giving Knowledge, Getting access, Gaining success! Each week the Grays' Project Inc. posts stories from several leading on-line Education publications, keeping you in the loop and up to date.  Gray's Project Inc. understands the importance of staying informed and up to date with the latest in education, and believes the key to success is helping one another.  There is power in knowledge, and knowledge comes through education and the ability to access that education. As many of us are aware the ability to access information creates a hierarchy in society benefitting those who have access, limiting those who do not. Unfortunately many people who have access to these resources fail to understand why people are unable to access what is so readily available. Giving Knowledge: Consider this: how do you ask for something you are not familiar with? How do you get something you do not know exists?  How can you access something if you lack the tools and resources? The sys

Gray's Project Inc- Gray's Giving Knowledge, Getting access, Gaining success! Gray's three G's + you = Success The move towards technology has created gaps in education, many families struggling just to stay warm and keep food on the table, the idea of students needing to have computers, tablets, and electronic devices has left many families out of the loop.  Schools pled to provide all students with electronic devices, but without an internet connection many students are still unable to complete assignments.  In addition to the costs associated with these devices, many parents are concerned with the liability associated with these devices as students commonly loose library books, the cost of a device can leave some parents in debt, making payments to the school and their child behind having to find an alternative source to complete daily assignemnts. School offificals struggle wanting to push technology, but struggle as they find ways to keep technology in the h

Districts Bail on Race to the Top in Five States Like The 12 states that won the $4 billion  Race to the Top sweepstakes  are forging ahead into the final months of implementing their education improvement plans, but some will be finishing out the endeavor with fewer school districts on board than when they embarked. Delaware, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Ohio all have had some local districts or charter schools bail out on their Race to the Top program, though many did so early on. The reasons for backing out are as varied as the states and districts themselves, though a central complaint has been that the district-level grants issued to pay for the states' Race to the Top requirements fell short of their actual costs. Delaware lost its biggest district last spring—the 17,000-student Christina system—in a dispute over paying large bonuses to the most effective teachers. Christina forfeited $2.3 million of its $10 million grant.

Pushed Out Blogs and Articles: Race and Ethnicity Discipline and Behavior Printer-friendly version Number 36: Fall 2009 Eight year-old “Jenny” was suspended from her third-grade class for two days for bringing a pair of cuticle scissors to open the wrapper on her school breakfast. Under the school’s zero tolerance policy, Jenny’s teacher believed she had no choice but to report Jenny to the principal. Humiliated and traumatized, Jenny missed two days of school, and now has a suspension on her permanent school record.  “Joseph” was 13 when the bullying against him started. Under his school’s strict discipline rules, all students involved in a fight received the same punishment, regardless of who started it. After several fights that resulted in repeated, multi-day, out-of-school suspensions, Joseph fell further and further behind, failed the seventh grade, and became increasingly alienated from his school. He eventually dropped out. These stories are

The School-to-Prison Pipeline Blogs and Articles: Discipline and Behavior Printer-friendly version Number 43: Spring 2013 Illustration by Chris Buzelli In Meridian, Miss., police routinely arrest and transport youths to a juvenile detention center for minor classroom misbehaviors. In Jefferson Parish, La., according to a U.S. Department of Justice complaint, school officials have given armed police “unfettered authority to stop, frisk, detain, question, search and arrest schoolchildren on and off school grounds.” In Birmingham, Ala., police officers are permanently stationed in nearly every high school. In fact, hundreds of school districts across the country employ discipline policies that push students out of the classroom and into the criminal justice system at alarming rates—a phenomenon known as the school-to-prison pipeline. Last month, Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., held the first federal hearing on the school-to-prison pipeline—an important
