It's nice to have confirmation from others about this. In fact, I've been thinking a good bit about this topic. I've recently read <i>Enough!</i> (long subtitle omitted) by Juan Williams and <i>Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?</i> by Charles Barkley. Both of them make a strong pitch for focusing on kids' schooling. Eventually, I shall post an entry on my personal blog about these books. Miss, thanks for the feedback.

I have always said that, regardless of the demographics, a school must strive to provide the best education that it can provide for its students. I think that our urban schools need to invoke the teachings of Malcolm X. Perhaps that is where it all went wrong: urban schools placed social equity before educational equity.
