George Lopez Show: Review

Watching the George Lopez Show on 3/18/2009 at 11:00pm Pacific Standard Time, gives a good reason for a Review. The cast is Hispanic and on the 7 Star Rating system, the show is  5 Stars.

The George Lopez Show gives examples of:

  • Parenting Skills
  • Discusses difficult issues like bed wetting and racism
  • Social issues
  • And the difference from generation to generation in hopes and dreams for children

The show has some content that would be considered adult conversation and it is recommended that parents watch the show with the children to discuss and explain some of the issues.

The show could do a better job at having a more multicultural cast. There are more racial issues than just the majority race.

Dealing with Youth and Acceptence

When dealing youth, peer acceptence is important to them. Relationship development is taught and practiced at that time and could impact the individual during other developmental stages of life.

Many youth are normal, well adjusted, non-pathological individuals and when interacting with others may experience rejection. Remember:

“Just because you love and accept them the way they are, does not mean everyone does!” 

Tutoring and Mentoring: Different For Youth

The current graduation rate has sparked a new interest in ways of retaining and graduating students from all grade levels. One option is mentoring.

Tutoring does not work the same in schools as mentoring. I was a supervisor for mentors of individuals in the juvenile system and counseled them. The juvenile system deals with individuals that have more severe problems than the school system and the mentoring is more intense. The educational requirements are also higher.

The school counselor is not the same as a mentor. The school counselor gives guidance for classes, summer opportunities, vocational education, colleges and universities, and responds to teacher referrals.

Mentoring is a persons life. Tutoring is only the academic part of a person. A mentor is involved with the persons family and friends, helps the individual make personal decisions, and can be used as a reference later. Many mentors are professionals at the top of there field, the reference for a young person would be considered outstanding. Many youth would not have the opportunity to meet some of these individuals if it not for a mentoring program.

In conclusion, tutoring does not work the same in schools as mentoring. A mentor does not replace the school counselor, and many of the mentors are professionals at the top of their field. Mentoring improves behavior, grades, and attendance. If the school system can take on this type of large project, the drop out rates most likely will decrease, and grades will most likely increase.
