The Wire

In class we watch the wire and an inner city school in Baltimore. This particular clip displayed inner city youth as violent unruly and having no sympathy or compassion for others. It showed old desk paint peeled walls and wild and rambunctious children. The classes were crowded and hard to control along with the students not taking the new teacher seriously. This shows how schools are now and also perpetuates that films only depict African American inner city schools in one way.
