Quote:What resources specifically?  Trained teachers?  Infrastructure?

 

I'll ask this with all due respect, but are "typical white children" taught not to "snitch" on a regular basis?  Where does that lesson come from?  It certainly doesn't come from any school curriculum that I know of.  Do black people not get chastised for "acting white" or "talking white"?  Do black children get picked on in school for doing well and earning good grades?  Are prominent black members that are openly Republican attacked with vicious insults?

 

The quality of the teachers and resources to help develop and mentor teachers is lacking in minority communities. Yes, Parental support is a huge issue, but the parents I know who have their kids attend said schools and are enrolled in the AP classes are saying the materials are lacking.

 

In regards to the no snitch culture, you can say its synonymous with black culture, but if you look across all demographics that are poor, who violent you can find the no snitch rule exists there.  In regards to black people being chastised for "acting white" I would say that can be applied to individuals who dont identify with being black. Those individuals no longer identifies with their culture and feels the need to either separate themselves or look to fit in with others who are not of their racial makeup. 

 

Black children dont get picked on for making good grades.
