hey Polly.
welcome back to new episode of the Polytech
where your host for today's episode on Jasmine
and I mean yeah
it really makes me think of you
for a long time
till about the change we should go ask them
a most memorable moments as a teacher here was
when my film students
got to do a film festival for
horror films and 2013
our football team went
to the city championship
lose but it was memorable for me because my son played on
the team so I got to spend time with him
and they're in that experience here at Paulie but to see
everybody come out and support Polly that day
was was amazing for me but a lot of
memorable moments since I've been here but
what's that one that really stands out was when I performed
in the 2015 teacher
lip sync in our old Auditorium to
decorate
our door our class today
USC College door and I was very
surprised that we've chosen to end and we were very
happy most memorable members
will probably be meeting for missing
at different
places around the city I mean
Neptune's in Pasadena Glendale
it's all over and just the fact that they
remember me that was very memorable my
happiest moment was when I figured
out how to start the thermite demo
using a drop of water and
and not only that but that very same week
it was raining and
I figured out how to do it using the actual rain and just
lifting a lid off and letting those rain start it has
to
be the first graduating class
I had so I started back in 08 and
the graduating class for class
of 2012 was this great group
of kids but I had known them since 9th
grade I had followed them along
and so is really special to see them
across the stage and be part of this moment
of their lives and
it was beautiful
Fox doing here what
are you doing did you hear what the police told you
I for Christmas
adopt a student is a
community outreach that we started last
you're actually just give back
to the community when we do toy drives we didn't necessarily know
where the money went we rich awareness through
various platforms like Instagram
schoology but we also created
this lovely born back here where we
play the wish list of the students and
during lunch after school and before school
we allowed students staff to come by
and she was a wish list so I'll
double soon hello contributors one of them being back
in America other than being a lot of staff
are the students themselves the adopted
student killer chosen through their after-school program
before I came to work
for a nonprofit organization call Alice
pass this is a program that gives back to
the parents and the community that they
they just offer a lot of resources to our little school
that
parents can pick him up at work
or something else so those are as soon as we've
had a higher need the kids are
always so happy and so
playful and you can just see their big smiles on
their face how excited they get adopting
this student
and Chris's holiday spirit because they it's a school
white thing where everyone students
parents even the commune
get some Bob and everyone's welcome to
participate and adopt a student and get back
to her local elementary school's affirmative
actions gone what's up
76th and Moore
affirmative action was a policy
that was meant to Aid low-income minority students
in the pursuit for college originally meant
for the workforce and later and knocked it into education in
1978 but in 2023
killed an attempt to rid of any reverse discrimination to
policy gave way to but was it really causing
more harm than good many other use
his staff have differing opinions on this matter so
for them where is the line between equality
and discrimination
affirmative action is a policy that was initiated
into Olivier past discrimination by
giving preferential treatment to
certain minority identified minority
groups in order to boost their numbers in
the university and diversify the word
I don't think affirmative action actually
benefited minorities I think that you know
the marginal cases maybe they gave a boost
to some students but those were
excellent in their subject area I
got accepted to college anyway
I think affirmative action probably hurt more than help
because it led to resentment
and many people who didn't get accepted to
college or fail to there was reverse
discrimination the original
way that affirmative action was applied
strictly based on race or ethnicity did
not appear to be fair but you know you're asking
students to be part of all these activities and
all these programs were soon as an apple in high school
for students who have families to make a income
they have those opportunities because they're
afford it and so they have access to
all these activities and their college applications are
going to be full of all these activities versus
the student who's taking care to a ride to get home
or they can stay after school for the activities because
they have to take care of your siblings
and I'm just worried was going to happen to our community and
our black students are letting next to it is we're
going to happen to them to perception of the students being
asked a poly
alumni who was a part of the last graduating class of students
affected by A Primitive action or currency
will never experience the positives of the policy
show you
the entire being a sociopath
gender sexual orientation.
There's so many more things that
you take into consideration when you are talking about
a person because people are multi-layer
focusing on kind of
limit what you see about another person
definitely
a lot more is
that it can really
encourage students who didn't think they had a chance before the
percentage of
enough to know that they too can go to
competitive colleges and that they have a
chance and it really does internally
like put us at a disadvantage is
gone now
the only thing left for you to do is stress
run ability when applying to college because true
quality Rises to the surface no matter the reputation
of the school that you attend will it be Community
College at Cal State or university as
long as you put in the effort you
will be noticed and you will succeed
