Top Tweets for #StreamedToFail
Thanks @PLloydHenry for curating & sharing this Twitter moment regarding devastating impact of streaming practices for Black students ➡️➡️➡️ https://t.co/ORLCnU5cHG #destreaming #dismantle #antiBlackracism #StreamedToFail
Stories like this one are why we have to review #Streaming in all subject areas. Your niece was #StreamedToFail, but she met them with #BlackExcellence and #BlackGirlMagic. It shouldn't be this way. Black Ss must be supported, not forced into #SurvivalMode!
My niece is in her 3rd year of uni churning out 100% papers with ease (while tutoring during a pandemic).
*honours student (graduate with distinction)
*athlete of the year
*student council
Encouraged by her GC to switch to applied for math, sci, eng.
Imagine that.

Yes, let us remember that behind each story of #StreamedToFail, there was a teacher who could have better supported that student. When racist teachers are protected by the education system, racial disparities will persist, unchecked. Let's hear from these Ts.
I was also told in grade 8 I wasn't university material, and in grade 11, and in grade 12 ... at this point can the racist teachers please stand up? While these stories are great, I want to hear from them. Do that investigative work. https://t.co/fHS2olFFn9 via @torontostar
They were once directed to take applied courses. Now they say ending the discriminatory practice of streaming is ‘long overdue’ https://t.co/uE7Bnowldn
@NHenryFundi Calling for a change to a [racist] curriculum that systemically excludes Black history & a change to the practices of racial segregation or the ways in which Black Ss are #StreamedToFail

Hmm #streamedtofail. Destreaming should not be a pilot it should be eradicated. @equitychatter @peelblackyouth1 @PeelBlackParent @TrusteeMcDonald

When Grade 11 started @EugeniaDuodu asked to switch into physics, chemistry and biology. The guidance counsellor discouraged it, “Why would you do that? It’s going to be so hard for you.”Duodu shares her story @TorontoStar about breaking barriers in STEM.

Resharing @blkatlanticCDN's piece as a reminder why addressing the streaming of Black children needs to be centred solely on systemic practices and not on promoting the viability of both university and college bound pathways.

@MsTiaDuke Continue holding high expectations for Ss! They can meet and exceed them. #StreamedToFail
My first guidance counsellor refused to enroll me in grade 11 physics/chem & repeatedly told me it would be too difficult for me (1/5) https://t.co/KgFx4pFC6f
@MsTiaDuke The practice of having Black Ss #StreamedToFail means having the least experienced Ts teaching these courses with the least supporting resources & least access to experiential learning. This leaves Ss with learning that is not relevant, authentic or meaningful.
@MsTiaDuke Yes! We have to prove over and over that we belong where others belong by virtue of their skin colour. #StreamedToFail
@MsTiaDuke These are the stories we hear repeatedly & then some will defend this practice as if we’re supposed to be grateful for any little crumbs. #StreamedToFail
The conversation about Black Ss being ⚡️ “#StreamedToFail”
is old - a few curated tweets which point to this ongoing conversation. I do hope that this new review & @Sflecce Binding Directives to @PeelSchools forces change https://t.co/GfidgYsnce
Being #StreamedToFail is but one of the ways in which the abuse of Black Ss &the denial of their rights to equitable outcomes is perpetrated "The level at which a child is streamed either expands or contracts a child’s opportunity for post-secondary education and skilled trades".
Racial stereotypes held by teachers play a significant role in the streaming of Black Ss. For decades Black communities have complained that their children are inappropriately streamed&, as a result, are deprived of the opportunity to realize their full potentials #StreamedToFail
Peel Review, 2020 "Streaming has been a long-standing concern in Black communities. As confirmed by one author, “Black youth continue to be disproportionately streamed into lower education tracks as a result of both individual prejudice and systemic factor". #StreamedToFail
The initial release of the report April 2017 led to reactions on social media, shared stories from #streamedtofail including @blkatlanticCDN, currently a PhD student at Rutgers U. Thx Marlene.
Last year my niece, a black kid with an avg of 88%, was told by her guidance counselor, not to apply to university but to go to college instead.
This year, my nephew was told the same thing.
