BHS STUDENT/PARENT HANDBOOK—3 WE ARE FAMILY TO: THE PARENTS AND STUDENTS OF THE BRANDYWINE HIGH SCHOOL FAMILY FROM: JEFF BYREM, PRINCIPAL At Brandywine High School, we are growing a family! We are a family made up of students, parents, faculty, and staff, and as members of the BHS Family, we all have a responsibility to: 9 Honor and support teaching and learning, 9 Show compassion and respect for all other members of our BHS Family, 9 Know and follow our school rules and procedures, 9 Respect school property and the property of others, 9 Participate and/or support extra-curricular activities, and 9 Make positive contributions to the overall spirit and reputation of Brandywine High School. As a member of the Brandywine High School Family, you represent part of a 50 year tradition of excellence. This Student Parent Handbook is filled with useful information about school rules and procedures, athletics and activities, grading and promotion, and the answers to many other frequently asked questions. Please review the contents of this handbook, as well as the Brandywine School District’s Students’ Code of Conduct and the BHS Program of Study Guide (which will be distributed prior to the Winter Break). These three documents will answer most questions you may have about Brandywine High School. If you have questions that are not answered by these documents, please check out our new Website (http://bsd.schoolwires.com/brandywine/), contact us by phone at 479-1600, or e-mail me at [email protected]. Good communication between family members is essential. The Home Access Center (HAC) allows parents to check their children’s attendance, discipline incidents, interim reports, report cards, transportation information, and registration information (home address, home phone numbers, etc.). When teachers use the eSchool Gradebook, parents can also check their children’s grades and whether or not they have completed assignments, and to this end, I have encouraged all BHS teachers to utilize the on- line Gradebook. All of this information can be accessed via the HAC at https://hac.doe.k12.de.us/HomeAccess/. Usernames and initial passwords needed to access HAC are mailed to families from the District. If you have not received this information, please e-mail a request for a HAC username and password to our attendance secretary ([email protected]). She will arrange to have the needed information sent to you electronically. As we begin our 50th year in the pursuit of excellence, I’m looking forward to a year of exciting challenges and good times. It is my wish that each member of our Brandywine High School Family will have the best school year imaginable. Go Bulldogs!

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

Education, Violence, and Re-Wiring Our Schools Margareth Etienne† I. INTRODUCTION Is there a relationship between the education system and the crim- inal justice system? What is the connection between education and criminality? Two theories prevail. Theory I is, simply put, that educa- tion (or school programs) can reduce crime. This common perception is supported by a great deal of research among sociologists and criminol- ogists revealing that better and higher education attainment levels cor- relate with lower criminal behavior. Scholars diverge in their hypothe- ses to explain why this is the case,1 but it is fair to say that education provides opportunities that stem from greater substantive knowledge, hard and soft skills, credentials and greater employment prospects, pro- social attitudes, and positive social networks2 that advance the life pro- spects of young people. With these opportunities, students are less likely to resort to crime for money or social advancement and are more likely to be socialized against the acceptability of resorting to crime.3 In addition to robust evidence of correlation, some scholars argue that they have discovered causal links between education and lower crime levels.4 † Professor of Law and Nancy Snowden Research Scholar, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign.

Police Violence in The Wire Jonathan Masur† and Richard H. McAdams†† INTRODUCTION Police brutality—the unsanctioned, unlawful use of force by police against unarmed (and often defenseless) civilians—is one of the recur- ring motifs of The Wire.1 The violence occurs in a variety of settings: occasionally the victim of the police brutality has done something to precipitate it (though the brutality is never justified), but more often the violence is unprovoked and senseless.2 Some police are one-time wrongdoers; others are repeat offenders. Some officers participate in the actual beatings, while others only cover up for the actions of their fellow officers. But in sum, the violence is regular and recurring, if not omnipresent. In this respect, The Wire is not dissimilar from other filmic depictions of police, such as NYPD Blue. What is different is the cast of police officers who are involved in police brutality throughout the show.
