Thank you Davey's Mommy for the link to Stupid Black Parents
I have to say, this article put into written words what it was like attending public school as an African American student in the NJ public school system. Besides my belief that education should include Catholicism, this is why I will never send my children to a public school ever! I remember sitting in my guidance counselors office each year requesting to be put in the college bound courses. My guidance counselor would say to me "Are you sure you want to take Shakespeare, it may be kind of hard," This was each semester.
Children live up or down to your expectations...oh, sigh...
