In James Baldwins speech he described the way America has dealt with the educational system and how society itself the majority of the time doesn’t apply to how the “system” is structured. He is explaining how he gives his profound imagery as to growing up and examples towards how the mindset of a kid and an adult is when learning and seeing the world. what stood out to me the most was when he states “Even today, so brainwashed is this republic that people seriously ask in what they suppose to be good faith, “What does the Negro want?” I’ve heard a great many asinine questions in my life, but that is perhaps the most asinine and perhaps the most insulting.” He continues going on in saying that the way a black child sees his surroundings is criminality due to how the “conspiracy” is.

what I wish that was taught in school rather than the majority of what they have already taught us is the basics of being an adult. Adult hood requires now maturity and basically the rest of you life. So as you grow you learn. But she do you learn? Either life lessons or school. Schools usually give extra elective classes to learn these things such as taxes , how to know how to plan your retirements etc. Basically anything that has to do financially. This would’ve been so much more helpful than adding letters into math and having to find the solution for it. I believe if the system wasn’t so stuck in the INDUSTRIAL learning/teaching habit, a lot of us such as  students, staff and teachers would be able to understand each other  for once and possibly get somewhere better. Who knows, the world could possibly be a better place to live in.
