Excerpt from www.wisw.net 

"There’s No Place Like Home

It is long overdue  for home and school to change their relationship.  It has been a shaky union.  Home and school must intentionally become sensitive to each other.  They must decide to actively support one another’s goals and purpose for the good of “their children.”

There was a time a note from the teacher was enough to summon a parent/guardian immediately to school.  And there once was a time a teacher knew the family and the family’s functioning level enough to offer authentic support.  In recent times both scenarios have dissolved – a bad union.

The times have changed enough that major life altering events are happening to children and neither home nor school can be counted on by the child.  Children are experiencing crisis and chaos at home.  They go from home to a school system that is broken.

Bottom of the Bucket

It is now imperative for education stakeholders to gain what is called the “new literacy.”  This “new literacy” is being aware enough to be comfortable navigating the layers that is the global economy. Up until now the public discourse is stuck on teacher’s compensation as it relates to local budgets. The “new literacy” goes beyond local municipalities and beyond conflict with unions and state.  These have been arguably more political than purely economic.

Keep in mind the goals within education include readying students for gainful employment.  Without an enlarged understanding of economics, education is at a loss being out-of-step with what, where and how prospective employment is to be found. 

Reflections on Student Sampling

“Start from scratch, lose the idea that education will be a benefit to big government, and ask the true parties involved what they want and deliver it!”

"Writing this book has allowed me to give children, who have been hurt by parental neglect, comfort in unfortunate circumstances that they wont understand. single parenting has become an epidemic in our communities and shows no racial bias. to spread the message to these kids that they are deserving of unconditional love has become a priority for me. children are innocent and arent given choices when parents choose to abandon them. its painful for them. i want to assist in putting an end to their pain with the message conveyed in my book, "always remember, you are loved."

 

always remember, you are loved: a child’s curiosity about the absentee parent by angel d. washington, is a childrens book that is passionate, heartfelt and necessary for those children that need kind and loving parental reassurance. inspired by personal events, as well as the universally common occurrence in many homes today, this book is an endearing story and a true lesson in love.

as parents, we often find that we must take the higher road when explaining the behavior of an absent parent to a child who is too young to understand adult situations. when a parent lies, a child knows. when a parent fails to keep their promise, a child hurts. having to explain the actions of the absent parent to a child is a difficult task. no matter the answer given, we must provide the answer with love, avoiding the harsh realities of an adult relationship gone bad. many times, an angry parent will share inappropriate information with a child(ren). this book focuses on reassuring a child that he/she is loved unconditionally, while hoping to ensure that a child has great confidence and a sense of self worth.

always remember, you are loved: a child’s curiosity about the absentee parent allows single parents to turn a negative situation into a positive one, because its the best reaction to another’s lack of action. angel d. washington hopes that you too, will find that this book offers an abundance of love and a great message. additionally, that it is a great tool that many families can utilize when explaining or experiencing difficult circumstances that are beyond ones control.


always remember, you are loved is available at www.amazon.com or by emailing angel directly at angelsdiary1@aol.com.

The founder of MyHBCUInterview is on a mission to uplift the community through the power of education and the story of the journey. So many people graduate from high school not even knowing that an HBCU exists fifteen miles from their house, worse yet they do not know the majors, minors, and opportunities that they offer.

Through ignorance on various educational levels in regards to counselors, teachers, negative media publicity, and more children are guided away from the very institutions that helped pave the way for our ancestors.

Our mission is to spread the greatness of HBCUs one person and one word at a time. To this end enrollment will increase at HBCUs and communities will be uplifted from the ills of poverty one generation at a time.

Do not believe the negativity spewing from mass media just guide your self to our website and read the honest truth about the HBCU Experience, no editing, no bias - direct words from hard working HBCU Students, Athletes, and Alumni.

  One famous rock n’ roll family...
One daughter’s personal journey...

Author Elizabeth Isley Barkley unveils a unique tale that will touch and inspire you. In One Isley Brother’s Daughter, she shares of a personal journey and of one daughter’s experience growing up in a famous rock n’ roll family called the Isley Brothers.

Will she be able to live her dreams?

Here, Barkley talks about what it was like going to her father’s and uncle’s concerts; the excitement, as well as the pressures of being a daughter and living the dream. And she is writing for all the fans, to try and soothe their obsessions about ‘stars’ in general—to let them see that the limelight isn’t always bright but could be a dark place. A place where you might not want to go.

Follow her story...

As I begin each work day, I can look at the photographs that hang above my desk and see generations of wisdom in the face of the enslaved African, the stern, watchful eyes of  Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Frederick Douglass' imposing dignity, that moment of connection  forged by a single handshake between Malcolm and Martin, the quiet, yet resolute defiance of Rosa Parks and Jesus with the elders (all of whom look like me), sitting at the table for the last supper.

These defining images (and others) occupy an almost spiritual atmosphere from which I draw inspiration and focus on a  daily basis. I'm compelled to make proud, my African and Black American ancestors. I'm infused with their spirit and humbled by the legacy of greatness they have bequeathed to me.

As Black Americans we stand upon the shoulders of men and women whose experience in this country was unlike that any other ethnic group. They were kidnapped from their homeland, enslaved, tortured, terrorized and murdered -- all in the name of White supremacy. Yet, the strength and power of the Black spirit endured and prevailed.

It is because of my profound admiration for OUR TRIUMPHS  and  GENUINE LOVE for OUR HISTORY and THE PEOPLE IT PRODUCED, I created  the BLACK IN TIME ENTERPRISES RESOURCE ONLINE CENTER --- adding the mantra: "Celebrating Who We Are By Honoring Who We Were."

I strongly believe that Black people have a responsibility and obligation to continue the legacy of greatness we've inherited. We do that by creating positive, unique stories within our own lives. I say everyday that In order for Black History To Live, We Must Continue To Breathe Life Into It -- that's the message we need to give our children.

Please use this website as a source of information and inspiration.  It is my sincere hope that this will be a useful tool that  will help anyone interested in promoting and teaching Black History and Culture, more effectively. Encourage your family, friends and associates to visit, too. I've tried to create a virtual forum that will get you EXCITED ABOUT BLACK HISTORY and enable you to Channel That Excitement Into Positive Action That Will Enhance Your Life.

In the words of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, "The mere imparting of information is not education. Above all things, the effort must result in making a man think and do for himself."

Again, THANK YOU for your interest in BLACK IN TIME ENTERPRISES. We value your patronage and look forward to hearing from and serving you.

Peace & Blessings,
