We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
To my Black family, there are no words. Iβm to the point of drained- but I know we are resilient and our best days are in front of us.
We have lost so much and I know we are exhausted. I know it is not fair to constantly bear the burden but I hope we can lift the load for the next generation
Chadwick left a piece of himself with us and gave us a legacy we can be proud of and share with our future generations
Those stories about kids getting a million in scholarships or a ton of scholarships are actually an indication of inequity
A small % of students get all the big scholarships and others will get little to nothing
I see it all the time. One student getting SIGNIFICANTLY MORE than what they need- Iβve had students get $$$,$$$ or $$,$$$ in excess because we apply for anything and everything
Other students, im talking over 4.0 gpa, getting nothing. Like $0 or low amounts
Scholarships tend to pick the same bright star over and over
And no shade to the bright star but itβs frustrating because when that student decides on a school and foregoes the scholarships we rarely see redistribution of the scholarship
@balderdashHere4@DeeSTEM_Teach@RachelLitLady1@MoniseLSeward Lets reframe away from irresponsible. I went to law school and have significantly more debt than this. Everyone believed giving me at 23 debt that would take 20-25 years to pay off was responsible
People encouraged it. Youβll pay it all back quickly they said
@balderdashHere4@DeeSTEM_Teach@RachelLitLady1@MoniseLSeward Itβs actually almost impossible to graduate undergrad now with less than 100k yet the colleges throwing students into debt have millions if not billions in endowment and spend millions marketing to students saying itβs worth it.
And Iβm not talking we want you to score around in the range of
I am talking there are colleges Iβve seen tell a student to retake the ACT because they were 1-2 points off or the score was a 1180 and they want 1200. Students who are NCAA eligible but go until score met
To be clear not everyone does this. Iβve had coaches say βclose enoughβ and I had coaches ask βyou think (athlete) is academically ready, worried about the scoreβ and had them realize this score isnβt a reflection of their academic ability
4. Then tell students reviewing with and without certain scores is normal- some schools have test others donβt, some people have AP, others IB, others have standardize scores 5. Tell students some students have some classes others donβt, some students have opportunities

6. Essentially explain there is not this βif all things are equalβ and βa student who has the higher score will get the slotβ 7. Explain how test were used and how thatβs change 8. Explain this is not out of pity for certain students

I have students deciding how much to pay for undergraduate, where to go, and whether itβs worth it to go to a more prestigious school to better chances of med school
I only know hidden cost of law school (bar exam, living expenses)
