Today the pop
culture plays a big part on the image of this generation. Many kids today model whatever is going on
after what they see on television or hear on the radio. The hip hop community
has grown tremendously. Therefore, changing the way these kids act in the real
life. I have a nice amount of experience in the music industry, but I feel that
I can make a difference in this world by mixing music and education to assist
the kids with their learning process.
A man named
Dr. Marc Lamont Hill wrote a book called “Schooling Hip-Hop: New Directions in Hip-Hop Based Education” in this book he spoke of the many changes hip hop has
made in trays schools. Many teenagers want to live the life styles they hear on
the radio, everyone wants to be a rapper, and so many woman don’t know how to
dress. A major trend that is hurting these schools is twerking. Woman gyrating against men in a sexual manner has been showcased on social media sites while
school is still in session. I feel there is a time and a place for everything
and school is not that place. Also, the men think the gangster life is what is
appealing to the opposite sex. So, many fights and bullying has become an issue
in today’s schools.
My vision for
these kids are as follows: creating a private charter school that helps
students learn using the pop culture as the foundation, Teaching this generation ways to life their lives and still keep their reputation socially, and to
provide a way for them to express themselves in a positive manner. Once I mix
music and education, I feel each and every teenager that enrolls in my program
will enjoy it and be successful. Prof.
Adam Bradley created a program on the same goal as my school.
Hip hop in theclassroom will be the new generation teaching solution.
