I don't know what's been going on in DISD for the last several years when it comes to educating black students, but for some reason the kids are increasingly performing worse than Hispanic and white students.

DISD has begun to realize that black students are falling way behind and has implemented measures to address the problem, including a math initiative geared towards black students. DISD and outside groups also are providing mentoring-type programs for young black males.

Johnny has four apples.

If Tarvaris is redistributed two from Mary, and three from Johnny, how many do Mary and Johnny have left?

One too many.
