What are the Chances

'This is America' debuted at #1 on the billboard Hot 100

Bino season never ends.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I’m guessing a big part of season 3 will be him manning up and convincing her to stay somehow. The teacher throwing out that “happy two parent home” jab was possibly foreshadowing.

Both of those characters are more enjoyable when they’re getting along, wish we got more of that tbh.

Season 3 Van gonna get wifed up by somebody else and Earn is going to have to deal with the reality of another man raising his seed.

'In the future, other nikkas playing football with your son'

Van ALWAYS trying to lift this nikka up

Thats cause she’s he kind of chick that a lot of nikkas not checking for. She not about that skeezer lifestyle. She’s about the business. She works and cares for her child & supports her man. She finds time to kick it with her girls when hats possible. Van is THAT chick. I hope things work out next season. I hope Earn wife her.

Are you talking about the day care teacher? I don't see anything wrong with telling the truth about a school. If they don't have proper funding and resources then be honest.

What's the difference between what she did and teachers who recommend kids to go to magnet schools or get scholarships to better private schools in the area? It's routine for that to happen.

Stop with the money bullshyt.
black schools always had underfunding, they used to have teachers that gave a damn and parents that cared and if you look at schools like Dunbar before "integration" they out performed white schools with money.

The teacher wasn't being honest, she was being lazy. She didn't want to put the work in and invest her time in a child, she wanted to shepard the child off. That mindset of the teachers in predominantly black schools kicking kids off is why, especially for black boys, school is so terrible now with regard to black academic achievement.

The difference between suggesting a kid go to a magnet school to get pushed to the best of their ability and saying this place is shytty get your kid out of here while I remain working here collecting a check, should be self evident. One is geared towards challenging a child, the other is geared toward saving yourself work or justifying why you do poor work.

She is a bird, ditching her kid to do drugs and try to thot it up with a rapper.

The only difference in the situation is the age of the child.

I've visited a lot of schools for my son and it was quickly evident which schools were in the business of trying to educate the kids and which were places where you just drop someone off. And I don't say that as an indictment on the teachers, it was just you could tell the kids there did not have anyone working with them at home and there were major behavioral issues that manifested itself in the classroom.

I know a lot of teachers in elementary schools and most of them have told me about meeting with parents and trying to guide them to better situations. It's part of their job to ensure the child receives the best education they can even if it exists outside their walls.

If the parents don't care the child is 90% lost unless a teacher can really become a personal influence and build a relationship with the kid.
I had a black female teacher, old school, I was 13, she had to be in her 60s who tried to write me off as one of those "loser kids" who didn't deserve to be at her school.
Because I was a normal boy who was energetic. I was in the top 5% of the class in terms of grade but she did her best to try to get me on ritilin and fukk me over. I'm glad as hell I had actual grown professional parents who saw though the bullshyt.

The funny part is I went to a lower tier school because they pulled me out, my sisters continued to go to the magnet school. I left, but my parents kept me engaged in reading things and my dad already loved computers so he pushed me in that arena. by high school we moved and I wound up in one of the top 10% public schools in the nation by standardized testing. I graduated top of the class higher than my twin.

The going to the lower level school didn't stop me from keeping pace with my sisters, who were in the top tier schools, but its all on the parents.

Breh. My point is that she is about handling important things rather han being a straight skeezer. She could very well be living life based off her cootch, but she doesn’t. Dassit.

Shyt is like the new Good Times... I really hope this shyt turns around before it's all said and done. I will say Donald is a strong writer.

We also have to talk waves. Are you as committed to the regimen in real life as Tracy is?
Hellll no, that's so much work! Man, nah...shyt! [laughs] They had me coming down and they were doing the hair test right? They had me using this wave pomade. They had me using this night pomade and one for the morning. And then I had to use this wave shampoo and conditioner, and brush my shyt in the shower. So I had a brush for the shower and a brush for—I'm telling you! Then [I'd] wear the wave cap all day, brushing my hair all day, my shyt was dripping, I don't care what nobody said!

So then, I showed it to Donald, and he was like, "Nah. That's not what I'm looking for." I was like, "Whoa, you know what it took me to get these?" So he showed me this picture of this guy on Instagram. And his shyt, bruh, was scary! And I was like, "Oh, my god, how the fukk does he do that to his hair?" I think he was Puerto Rican. But you know the texture of his hair is completely different from mine. So they bought this weave, put the weave on the cap on my head, put that shyt down, edged that shyt down, matted that motherfukker then a barber came in and did this bomb ass coloration with his clippers to make the hairpiece go naturally with my natural hair, then he sprayed it a little bit, man, tightened that shyt up. So hats off to hair and makeup, it was bananas.

Donald wasn't satisfied with his waves

The behind the scenes fukkery makes me love this show even more.

 

[UserNameless]

I don’t know how these nikkas planned an entire move out without Tracy knowing. Either way it was

he's in on everything...ain't no way he wouldn't have known.

Tracy (Khris) "My waves popping huh? Don't front on me bruh

Donald "Yeah. Nah that's not what I'm looking for. Needs more waves. Hair! Makeup!!"

This is the first time we've seen the teacher, first we ever heard of her.

Because she said Lodi should be in a better school that could cater to her abilities means she doesn't care?

If she didn't care, she wouldn't have given a fukk that Lodi was gifted, she wouldn't have called Van and wouldn't have took the time to meet with Earn and Van to recommend a great school.

Someone that doesn't care isn't doing all of that.

What should she have done to show that she cares?

Ideally she should be trying to push every kid in the class to succeed.

But in reality she's grown jaded towards the school system.

Most likely she probably graduated college and came into teaching with that kinda drive for the first 5 or so years of her career but, after seeing how the system really worked and how fukked these kids really are the job just became a "check" for her. So the Lodi scene makes sense. If she sees a gifted kid she'll push them to a school that will harness their potential but, the reality of being a teacher in an underfunded black school district teaching kids from fukked up backgrounds zapped whatever drive she had to make a change for the rest of the kids.
