#Excuses

If other schools can find them, why can’t STA? Going further, how many African American women teach full-time at STA?

Coaches and support staff can only do so much in providing an equitable environment for African American boys. Ask the boys who left.

Are there no teachers at the Bishop Walker School qualified to teach 4th grade boys at STA?

I can think of five black women who teach at STA. I can't think of any black men, aside from coaches.

Fwiw, STA has long resisted "affinity groups," including a BSU, but is about to launch several. (They have had ally groups for students of color, LBGTQ, etc., but not groups to which only members with the target identity can belong.)

After a exodus of students they decided to wake up. So much for the ‘brotherhood’.

I’d give it a few years and see if they revert to their old ways. More than likely they will after the PR/public discourse goes away. #ProtectTheBrand

The black male teachers I know don't want anything to do with the white-washed world of DC independent schools.

Landon may be a little more welcoming to black boys.

Sidwell, however, is just looking for the next Hart or Bey to help win basketball games.

Your out of touch with Sidwell.

So they did. And a letter.

None of this should be about some weird competition with sidwell, but if you're going to make it one (oh sorry. If your going to make it one), don't give sidwell's English department a bad rap.

Really..... because of an apostrophe. Grammar police present and accounted for. Watch your dangling participles or it will invalidate your point!

You are deflecting. No one said there aren’t African American boys at STA. We are talking about the representation in the front of the class.

Name on top academic private school in the area that has significantly more teachers who are AA males. I'll wait.

i don't understand this. Students aren't commenting, it's the parents. Why would the parents represent Sidwell's English department if they are not alumni? And by the way Sidwell should start with a S and not s, since you want to go there!

Families we know have said that Sidwell isn't great for black boys either. There seem to be large issues in DC privates.

My observation is that if a black student is good in sports or comes from a family with a very high HHI, he will fit in. If not, he eventually leaves for a more welcoming environment or he suffers in quiet desperation.

They hired an AA football coach from PG County to bring in AA. They brought in a AA kid from DeMatha as. SENIOR to help them win ball games.

AA are treated as tokens there. Same with Prep.

At sta or at DC privates? Honestly, in think having a low hhi is hard for any kid in the top DC privates.
