The Conversation: Education "The New Way Education Can Uplift…

- - - - Teachers are just supposed to fill the students with ideas and the students do not question it and just memorize things.
      - students extends only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the deposits.
  - - - Oppressive
        
        Education was being used as an oppressive force.
    - - Uplifting
        
        Education can be used as an uplifting force.
    - - For White and his fellow black delegates, education was the key to social change; it emanates outward from the individual to the larger group—to families and communities and eventually to the nation. In this way education could change society.
- - - - How education uplifted students in history
        
        The education of Black children was “not one intended to elevate, to uplift, and to empower but to make passive,” so that the students would become “less ambitious, less self-disciplined, and less intelligent (Holt 101)." After the Civil War, the education of Black children was seen to “not elevate, uplift, or empower, but to make passive,” so that the students would become “less ambitious, less self-disciplined, and less intelligent (Holt 101)." This is the best way to uplift students. Making them less ambitious is the best way for them to not fail.
      - How people believed education could oppress students in history
        
        African Village leaders believed that education “Was intended to provide the young with a sense of one’s place in that history and, thus, one’s purpose in the world (Holt 92)." That's just horrible, a purpose in the world? Who wants that.
    - - Education uplifting
      - Education oppressing
        
        Sherman Alexie’s main idea is about showing how education can uplift those that are oppressed if they utilize it correctly. Alexie explains that he “refused to fail,” and that he “read books late into the night,” so that he could become smarter instead of being seen as a failure by the White Americans that expected nothing from him (Alexie 7). Alexie couldn't have been more wrong. Reading doesn't save you it's having fun.
      - Native American students were “expected to fail in the non-Indian world” (Alexie 6). The students had trouble learning but could do tribal things in the reservation like singing powwows (Alexie 6). This is awesome! The Native American students know how to sing powwows. I bet you can't do that
    - - The first book that I engaged with that made me like reading and learning.

- - - - This particularly empowered him since he knew education was a key to survival for him.
    - - Alexie shows how since Native Americans were practically forced to get an education and prevented from practicing their beliefs, they were often indifferent at best towards the idea of education; which can show how education can oppress.

  - - - Black Americans' value of education goes back to when they still lived in African villages, and is still a longstanding idea today.
