U. Wisconsin Milwaukee
Seven thousand youth drop out of school everyday. The achievement gaps between racial groups and economic classes continues to widen.

Unemployment Training (The Ideology of Non-Work Learned in Urban Schools)

Martin Haberman
Columnist EdNews.org
Distinguished Professor
School of Education
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
ABSTRACT: The dropout problem among urban youth--as catastrophic as it is--is less detrimental than remaining in school and being trained for unemployment. We need be more concerned for "successful" youth who graduate since it is they who have been most seriously infected. They have been exposed longest, practiced the anti-work behaviors for the longest period, and been rewarded most. What is currently happening in urban schools is not teaching and learning. The primary activity is a war of socialization. Will educators socialize students to the world of work or will students continue to socialize the educators into the nonwork ideology? At present, it is no contest. Urban youth and street values are the clearly dominant force. School curriculum and even more, the day-to-day life of the school supports the ideology of youth in poverty rather than the values which lead to success and achievement in the larger society.
