And taking it beyond Beyonce. School kids reading, writing, rapping and racking up hits히트를 긇어 모으다 on the web. From CBS News world headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News. How can you get kids excited about school work in the age of cell phones and YouTube? Tonight Tracy Smith tells us how teachers in Wisconsin are making school cool.
Beyonce’s hit song, single ladies, has been parodied before by the pamper set. Even by other pop stars, yes, that’s Justin Timberlake in the leotard몸에 딱 붙는 타이츠. But this is a first. These are the scholar ladies and gentlemen, 50 in all from Hope Christian schools in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “I get no detentions구금되어 있는. Did I mention hard work is my intention?” While Beyonce sings about a ring마약 집단, they have their eyes on another prize.
They made the video for a school talent contest and posted it on YouTube where it’s gotten more than half a million hits so far. Hope is a network of three schools in Milwaukee with more than 700 kids. Founded in 2002, it combines religion and rigorous엄격한 academics with unconventional education tools like salsa dancing, and raps that teach multiplication곱하기. Even the principal gets in on the act. “There’s no doubt on Martin Luther King. That’s a spirit, he is doing his thing.” “They’re in the hip hop culture and that’s what they love. Let’s find a way to use it and make them more comfortable and make learning exiting. And it always works.”
Compared to the nation in Milwaukee’s metropolitan area, there’s a gap of 13 unemployed people for every one job opening and a gap of 25 to 1 in Milwaukee’s inner city. That’s Hope’s neighborhood. In fact, a third of the children here live in poverty. 42% of adults in this neighborhood never graduated high school. Only 7% have college degrees. So for these kids, going to college may seem as distant a dream as starring in a music video.
Not anymore. Take sixth grader Charmaine Taylor, the dancer on the left. She was getting Cs and Ds. “And what kind of grades are you getting now?” “As and Bs. I got A on it.” The kids are hoping to get a million hits on YouTube. And with 92% of Hope grads going on to college, maybe they’ve already accomplished their real mission…. making academic excellence cool.
