This website was assisting me in my research because it ge=ave me great insight on the child mind of a non gentrified society. The source goes on to tell me the future consequences of not following in the direction of education in an urban neighborhood. They provide examples as well as statistics on the assignment. One takeaway as well was how they displayed a students impact on society if they were not able to succeed.

Domestic violence: Recent trends in New York. (n.d.-b). https://www.osc.ny.gov/files/reports/pdf/domestic-violence-recent-trends-10-23.pdf 

This article was able to display the current trends and potential risks of domestic abuse on families. I thought this was very helpful because they talk about the Childs mind and motivations as I think this goes hand in hand with education as they mention the children being harmed. This website was more fact based with many facts being placed around the website. I would then use those facts to back up my statements and place in the argument.

This article was valuable to me because I used it to explain my argument better. The part of the argument I was bringing up was about the homes of these students re usually in poorer not as finical areas, and this article touches on that. It goes into detail on why students will not feel the need to go to school, because they think there will be no success out of it. I think it is really important to cover this because financial stability carries a big impact on education and it does not get talked about enough.

This article I think is very important in my debate because it covers how the New York schools systems seem to not truly care for there students. Because of the amount of children not going to school as well as covid holding children back on education for 2 years. It has become truly difficult for many students to learn. In this article it goes onto say the board of education they have in New York says the only way for our schools to do better is “more studying” which I think shows that teachers and school systems are willing to put the blame on the students instead of themselves.

Hunger in NYC. City Harvest. (2023, August 14). https://www.cityharvest.org/hunger-in-nyc/ 

This article talks about the serious food dilemma many children are facing in New York City. This article has statistics about how many children are starving everyday and have issues showering as well as giving facts on the child homeless population. Many of these kids attending these urban schools are being help back because they are hungry and don’t want to go to school if they are not being fed. My take was that if schools offered more lunches to students and maybe even better quality lunches it would assist on children coming back to school once again.

This article covered by a Rowan University student covers the Bronx and there trouble having children coming in to learn. It goes on to mention that many children in these areas are abused being starved or being bullied out of school making many huge issues in the area. The principal in the article thought that there is no possible way that their society can better themselves unless the help of all abiding citizens in the community.

This article mentions the power of education and the true effects or private and public schooling in New York. They go on to say that many children in the private schools may have troubled lives, however they are able to maintain a routine of discipline in order to succeed. Many of the children in these poorer areas are not facing the same thing in fact, a lot of the education is dramatically different, with the private schools giving better quality learning. The article mentions many public schools in the area believe many of the teachers do not care to teach their students and therefore also taking the passion and motivation for the children.

Urban schools: Executive summary. (n.d.). https://nces.ed.gov/pubs/web/96184ex.asp#:~:text=would%20have%20predicted.  Accessed 14 Apr. 2024

This article by the National Center of Statistics brings up this idea that many children that are born into poorer areas and deal with more abuse have a harder time moving forward and having a good life. I personally agreed with a lot they were mentioning as they talked a lot on the students perception if they were placed in a a red with no hope. The article goes on to say children who see an easier way out of there hole will do anything to get out of it. That part I agree with but many children that aren’t going to school are doing more harmful things in order to survive.

The next article covers the broader idea of education and the effects it has on inner city children. The article carries many interviews and perspectives as well as facts to bring up that many of the children in these inner city schools will refuse education because of the poor living environments and maybe even the parents that do not take care for them. It talks about how many different things are to blame for the decline of education, but it would take significant help from the community in order to fix the already very serious issue. Without the help of all communities it will never truly fix itself.

This article explains in detail why many inner city schools tend to be shut down or fall apart. I used this info in my argument because it shows the serious severe outcomes if education isn’t fixed in time. They talk about how communities as well as the parents create a big influence on the children and depending how much care they give them , it can change their life. Another takeaway from this article was how they pointed at the teachers as many of these teachers do not care for learning nor the students with truly stuck to me the most as I was typing my essay.
