Yes, I have seen the article you linked to. And for many reasons, it just doesn't ring true to me. It seems like whoever wrote that piece has an agenda beyond just reporting the truth.
Don't get me wrong. I've seen a lot of black-instigated violence, and a lot of black racism. I could tell you a hundred stories if you had the time.
But the majority of black students are not like the article proposes. Most of them just want to get by, and perhaps learn something significant along the way. And some of them will even give up their free time for extra help.
It's the minority of urban black students - perhaps 15% - who have wrecked urban schools with their ignorance and their violence. Why that is allowed I'll leave for another time.

I appreciate your feedback and opinion on this. Thanks for being “in the trenches “
Wrong. It’s the 15% who are trying to live according to society’s rules/God’s rules. The other 85% not so much.
This naivete is a part of the problem.
I went to and have been to a lot of majority black schools and I agree. Whoever wrote that article has an agenda. The worst class I’ve seen had maybe 3-4 disruptive students out of 30. Granted it makes a mess of the whole class but even the most ‘ghetto’ students at least just sit in the back of the class and shut up while class is in session.
Black schools would be able to function 1000% better if they were allowed to kick out that 10%.
