Elderly Homelessness and Harm to Disabled Students in Florida

This video addresses two critical issues: the rising rate of homelessness among the elderly and a new Florida law that negatively impacts disabled students. The speaker argues that society often overlooks and undervalues individuals with disabilities, particularly within a capitalist system that prioritizes productivity.

Key Points:

• Florida’s New Law: The Florida Board of Education has voted to phase out certificates of completion for students with disabilities, meaning that students who cannot complete the standard coursework for a diploma will leave school without any formal recognition.
• Economic Impact: Amy Vanberen of the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida, highlights that this change could make it even harder for people with disabilities to secure employment, potentially leading to deeper poverty and unemployment.
• Moral and Class Issue: The speaker emphasizes that this is not just a moral issue but also a class issue, questioning whether society truly supports all members of the working class, including those with disabilities.
• Systemic Problems in Education: The speaker criticizes the current education system for prioritizing obedience and conformity over mindfulness and critical thinking, and for failing to adapt to the diverse learning styles and abilities of students.
• Capitalist Model: The speaker argues that the education system operates under a capitalist model, aiming to produce “good little workers” and discarding those who cannot conform to its standards.
• Alternative Approaches: The speaker suggests that instead of phasing out certificates of completion, the school system should find different ways to help disabled students learn and recondition itself to accommodate their needs.
• Sir Ken Robinson’s “Changing Education Paradigms”: The speaker references a talk by Sir Ken Robinson, which argues that the current education system is outdated and alienates many students by trying to meet the future with methods from the past.
• Disproportionate Harm: The speaker emphasizes that the dissolution of certificates of completion disproportionately harms students with disabilities, widening the educational disparity gap.
• Early Intervention: The speaker agrees with increasing early detection and intervention for students with autism and creating micro-credentials for teachers who work with students on the spectrum, as long as it aims to help them learn while embracing their unique minds.
• Prison Pipeline: The speaker highlights a disturbing trend where standardized test scores in the third grade are used to predict future prison populations, indicating a systemic issue of marginalizing and incarcerating certain groups of children.

Highlighted Information:

• “People with disabilities already have a higher rate of unemployment and a lower rate of job placement after school. Now without a certificate of completion, securing employment could be even harder.” This underscores the practical consequences of the new law.
• “The school system at its present form is more focused on obedience and conformity rather than mindfulness and critical thinking.” This highlights a fundamental flaw in the current education model.
• “Public education is capitalist education because they want you to be good little workers.” This statement encapsulates the speaker’s critique of the education system’s role in perpetuating capitalist values.
• “They will actually do tests, school standardized tests for kids in the third grade, and they use those test scores to judge how many beds and how many cells that they will need for prisons.” This reveals a shocking and disturbing aspect of the system.
