“I’ve believed for twenty years that we’ve got the wrong plan on the board....and this new IT relationship to school and a chance for kids to move at their own speed will eventually prove that point.”
It’ll be considered racist because the poor blacks don’t the have computer skills to excel.
There is an ever-growing number of black families who are homeschooling or enrolled in cyber-schools. In the next state over (and soon to be introduced in my own state), many school districts offer an option for public school students to enroll in K-12 virtual charter school via a home computer. It has become a popular option, and because the family doesn't have to pay for it, it's an option that anyone at any income level can take. (At least, that's what I've been told by people who are involved in it.)
It's not an option my own family would want, but cyber-school is an option that works for many other families.
It’s more like their parents don’t have the “give a d*mn” for their kids to excel.
