yup. i posted a video about this subject before from a black educator. he's been saying this for a long time.
"We are failing (black students)," said FPMS principal Karen Bukowski. "They are not succeeding as well as other students."
Kunjufu rejected the usual explanations that the so called achievement gap between white and black students is caused by
poverty.
"The first reason for this gap is low teacher expectations," said Kunjufu who challenged the teachers to have high expectations for their black students.
"Don't think you're helping a brother out by lowering standards," warned Kunjufu.
Kunjufu harshly criticized teachers for too quickly referring black students, especially black males, to special education. He noted that while African-Americans make up 17 percent of students nationwide, 41 percent of special education students are black.
It's not poverty; It's low expectations
