Article Summary "Beyond Love: A Critical Race Ethnography of the Schooling of Adolescent Black Males" By Garrett Albert Duncan

The issue of racism is very hotly discussed in the United States. Not only on television but also in college scientific articles. This article written by Duncan, clearly as the title implies, discusses racist issues, primarily African-American male students. Furthermore, the theory used clearly is critical race theory (CRT).

The method used in this research is ethnography. This is clear because ethnography is written as the title of the study. Ethnography was used to find out the stories experienced by black students when they were ostracized at the research site. This study was conducted at City High School (CHS) located in the US Midwest (Duncan, 2002, p. 131).

This theory is essential because Irin Marion Young in 1992 stated that marginalization is the most dangerous form of oppression (Duncan, 2002, p. 132). In this article, Duncan discusses a lot about the marginalized behavior accepted by African-American students. This continues because most people think that marginalization is a common thing, and this happens because the majority group considers the minority group to make mistakes repeatedly (Duncan, 2002, p. 132).

Furthermore, the experience of marginalization experienced by this African-American student was told to Duncan while he was conducting his research. For example, one student wants to take part in the math olympiad selection, but the teacher disagrees with the reason that the 100 value received by the student is not the value that the student should receive even though it was the teacher who gave the score 100 (Duncan, 2002, p. 139). This injustice is often reported by black male students, namely that their schoolmates often ignore them. Also, the teachers mistreat them. There is a double standard that they accept at school with white students' behavior (Duncan, 2002, p. 135).

With the injustices received by black students, such as the example above that some students are not allowed to take part in the math olympiad selection, it will clearly have a negative impact on the academic development of black male students. They do not have the same opportunity to compete in the academic field. In fact, this competition is what makes school culture good in academic achievement (Duncan, 2002, p. 134).

Even though they often experience injustice, many black students still attend CHS because at CHS, black students have unlimited opportunities to join sports teams. In fact, other schools place restrictions on joining sports teams for black students (Duncan, 2002, p. 137).

The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that black male students experience exclusion even more often than black female students. These black male students need not just a speech but also actual steps that care about them and want to guide them (Duncan, 2002, p. 140).

Jam Kuliah

Kuliah doktoral di jurusan pendidikan di dept of Teaching and Learning (T&L) OSU paling awal dimulai jam 4 sore. Juga, saya sering pulang kuliah jam 9.30 malam. Alasannya, karena kebanyakan mahasiswa doktor (yg asli warga negara US) di sini adalah para guru. T&L mundurin jam mulai perkuliahan biar para guru ini bisa ikut perkuliahan juga, tanpa harus ngorbanin kerjaannya. Saya jadi inget dulu salah satu teman sejawat di kampus tempat saya kerja dg bangganya ia nekan mahasiswanya "kamu lebih milih kuliah atau kerja?" hanya karena mahasiswa tsb gak bisa bimbingan ngikutin jam yg ditentuin dosen krn bentrok dg jam kerja mahasiswa tsb. Tempat saya ngajar itu adalah kampus yaang dipenuhi para pekerja. Saya bangga banget mereka tetep mau kuliah walaupun sibuk kerja. Harusnya ngedukung mereka tetep kuliah (dan gak ngorbanin kerjanya). "kamu lebih milih kuliah atau kerja?" bukanlah pertanyaan pantas, menurut saya. Ini bukanlah dua hal yg perlu dibentrokan. Lagian, s

Kaya Dejavu

Saat pertemuan terakhir salah satu mata kuliah, tiba-tiba diem. Kok kaya dejavu, entah dari novel mana. Ngobrol-ngobrol sama mahasiswa Indonesia di kampus di USA. Kebetulan kelas itu juga diambil 5 mahasiswa doktoral Indonesia lainnya. Kami berbeda jurusan. Cuma saya yg dari STEM education. Lantas, saya coba geleng-geleng kepala. Bener gak sih nih saya lagi di USA, negara yg udah jadi impian untuk studi lanjut sejak zaman SMA, sambil ngobrol bareng dosen dosen dari kampus ternama. Oh bener! lanjut lagi berusaha ikutin obrolan mereka yg lagi diskusi gimana naikin kepangkatan fungsional. Kebetulan, salah satu temen yg lagi studi S3 di sini udah jadi lektor kepala. Keren ya, belum punya ijazah S3 tapi udah jadi lektor kepala. Beruntung banget, bisa sering diskusi sama orang-orang hebat di sini.

BIAYA KULIAH DI USA

  BIAYA KULIAH DI USA Bulan ini dapat tagihan biaya kuliah untuk fall 2022 sebesar $21.792. Lantas, coba ngecek biaya kuliah summer 2022 ini, ternyata $14.623. Sebelumnya, spring 2022 biaya kuliahnya itu $21.060,40. So, selama setahun biaya kuliah di USA adalah $57.475,40. Jika asumsi nilai tukar rupiah adalah $1=Rp15.000, maka satu tahun BIAYA KULIAH di USA adalah Rp 826.131.000. Hitungan ini baru untuk biaya kuliah saja. Belum termasuk biaya hidup yang juga tinggi. Standar biaya minimum hidup di Columbus yang ditetapkan oleh Ohio State University, menurut info pembimbing saya, adalah $1.700/ bulan. Dikali 12, maka setahun perlu $20.400 yang setara Rp306 juta. Maka, gabungan biaya kuliah dan biaya hidup setahun perlu Rp1.132.131.000. Lebih dari satu Milyar per tahun! Untuk mahasiswa S3 yang lulus 5 tahun maka perlu sekitar Rp5,6Milyar sampai lulus. Kuliah S3 di USA itu beda dg sistem negara persemakmuran yang cenderung bisa dipercepat jadi 3 tahun. Di USA, banyak yang lulus 4-5 tahun.
