LMS means Zero Discrimination
It is the society's conscientiousness to establish the importance of education in its citizen's development. Each person is entitled to a quality education that will equip him for his future and the future of his society.
There are numerous problems in public education in the United Stated today, and one of those adhering issues is racial discrimination. The quality of education especially in public schools is deteriorating because of imprudent education system and regulations. The society condemns inequality but the centers for learning themselves discounts the issue of racial discrimination existing in their premises. Apparently not only the students who belong to the minority group such as the African American race who are prejudiced, the same minority group of educators are also singled out in their own academic institution.
Non-white students seldom excel in academic activities because of inferiority complex. Their self confidence is way too low because they are "coloured". Speaking their minds out means a possibility of being mocked, laughed at, and rejected; hence they stay inferior. In a past study conducted to assess the success performance of home-schooled students, it was found out that minority students played equally well with the whites. However when the same test was administered on public school students, the whites' score was predominantly higher than that of the minority's. This goes to show that the environment for learning has a significant impact and influence on students; and discrimination plays a crucial role.
In the same line, educators who belong to the minority group experience being prejudiced specifically in employment when they are being retrenched. (Un)intentionally, the present administration's turnaround plan in public education "streamlined" the African American veteran educators, but surprisingly replaced them with younger whites.
Is there a chance for this long-time overdue racial issue to get solved?
Yes there is. Public school administrators who really want to eliminate and abandon racial discrimination must adopt a learning management system. LMS is software that is designed for tracking, managing and monitoring education and training in the web. As set up online, LMS uses virtual learning to educate the students in a manner entirely different from the classroom-but the academic lessons are the same or could me more comprehensive and intensive. There are many benefits that an LMS can provide the schools for public education. In terms of administrative tasks, an LMS can be used to keep records, share materials, display training manuals, and many more. For educational purposes, the role of the LMS is to stimulate the learning of the students through the vast features and capabilities of the virtual technology. This will teach the students to become more resourceful and responsible for their academic undertakings-diverting their attention away from attacking dissimilar races. Instead of physically going to school, the student will be able to attend classes and gain training online. Minority students will no longer be anxious about their colour, rather express their opinions and insights out without the fear of prejudice. Similarly, the teachers who are African American will no longer worry about their age-and race-since the focus of learning is made online. Finally, to completely eradicate discriminatory "encounters", through the LMS, the students will be given fair treatment in terms of gaining their deserved merits since the LMS can measure performance based on inputs. Objective, and not subjective, treatment will prevail.
Using a learning management system, it is possible to eliminate the issue on racial discrimination in public schools. When this succeeds, the improvement and restoration of the quality of education in the United States will follow. The use of a learning management system does not only benefit the students, parents, or the school, but the entire society in the long run.
