"We're going to take our students where they are and help them gain admission to college and succeed once they are there," said Tim King, the founder of Urban Prep. "Clearly there is a high need for figuring out how to serve these kids academically."
Perhaps a good start would be for their peers to quit telling them they're "acting white" for trying to succeed??
This brings up several questions..will chains be allowed?? throwback jerseys?? crooked ballcaps?? will the cirriculum be taught using northern ebonics (what be dat?), or southern ebonics (what be dat, y'all)..
Unless and until they dress the part and refuse to be labeled "white", no amount of social coddling using their own schools will help..IMHO
