Raise your hand if your parents

have told you you need to get

good grades and go to a good

College To be successful
Parents and students are bound by the
conventional ideas of education
● You must succeed in high levels of
education in order to be successful
○ Higher wages
○ Better health
○ Job security
○ Interesting Work
 The Main ISsue

Students are unable to expand beyond the

conventional ideas of education
Problems arising from these ideas

- Children who don’t mesh well with the

traditional system are restricted by it
negatively.
- Children who do not have a passion for
education lack motivation to succeed.
The truth

● Success in school does not always lead to success in

one's future and vise versa
● Some of the world’s wealthiest and most successful
people never graduated from college

Racial Perspective

○ Race plays a huge role in the success of some

○ Studies show two men can have the same exact
success in education, but the race determines the
future success

leads to troubles in the education system and the
workforce

- The stereotypes of people who are unemployed come

with a negative connotation.
- Studies show that unemployed people defy the
common stereotype.
