Racial Discrimination in Ontario Schools

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the marginalization of black students on Ontario schools, noting that this will have an effect far beyond the classroom, leaving many students unprepared to cope with the working world they will be part of in a few years. Such separation affects the child's ability to learn, damages his or her self-esteem, and creates a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure. Efforts have been made to reduce the degree of marginalization for precisely these reasons, and the more minority children can be included and made to feel part of the class, the better they will do.

From the Paper:

"Race and racial discrimination can be problems in society, affecting social services, employment, and the legal system. Race is a special sort of problem in education, for it is through education that racial and ethnic groups escape the cycle of poverty that affects so many and so can reduce the effects of discrimination and in time eliminate the discrimination altogether."
