This compelling look at the relationship between the
majority of African American students and their teachers
provides answers and solutions to the hard-hitting questions
facing education in today's black and mixed-race
communities. Are teachers prepared by their college
education departments to teach African American children?
Are schools designed for middle-class children and, if so,
what are the implications for the 50 percent of African
Americans who live below the poverty line? Is the major
issue between teachers and students class or racial
difference? Why do some of the lowest test scores come from
classrooms where black educators are teaching black
students? How can parents negotiate with schools to prevent
having their children placed in special education programs?
Also included are teaching techniques and a list of
exemplary schools that are successfully educating African
Americans.
