I totally agree. I went to a virtually all white school growing up and the disruptive kids HS were white males. The issue is keeping kids in school who don’t belong there and don’t want to be there.

We should end compulsory education after passing an either grade level proficiency exam or at age 16 whichever comes first. If someone can pass that exam at 12 or 14 years old, they are no longer required to be in school .. but they can elect to stay in college prep for 2 more years if they want. No way we need 12 years of schooling ... it’s just babysitting.

I went to a completely ALL WHITE school from K-2nd grade. This is a private school (Desoto)in Helena, Arkansas. This is a K-12 school and my yearbook from 1983 when I was in Kindergarten shows no black students, faculty or staff. Even the janitorial crew was an older white couple. Until I was probably 12 years old... I thought “Private School” meant no blacks allowed.
