I honestly think some of them should start charter schools in black churches. That would REQUIRE parental inivolvement. And -- THAT would require some PARENTS. TRY THAT SOLUTION: MARRIAGE FIRST, AND THEN KIDS. AND, PARENTS IN THE SCHOOLS ALL THE TIME. TRY IT.
Whew. Thanks, AMelia. I'm surprised I didn't make more typing mistakes in that letter I wrote above. This is such an emotional issue for me. Because I saw it for real. And blaming the government is not really true: there is plenty more blame to go around to explain what happens to black students. Starting with a common problem: NO PARENTS EXIST.
inivolvement. = involvement
And blaming the government is not really true: there is plenty more blame to go around to explain what happens to black students. Starting with a common problem: NO PARENTS EXIST. You're right. When you call a students' home, you might get Grandma, you might get Auntie, you might get a brother or a sister, but you almost never get Daddy. Some of them don't even have a daddy listed on their birth certificates. And I can't tell you how many times I've gotten Mama, and she said she'd try to talk to her child, but she didn't know when, because by the time the child got home from school, Mama would be at work, and when Mama got home, child would be asleep, and MAYBE Mama could get up in the morning before child went to school, but maybe not, because she works SO late.....
