It's not just resources. These schools also suffer from poor leadership. Many of the principals in these schools are inexperienced, corrupt or complacent, with the exception of Blair, which has always been the exception to the norm in the DCC/NEC.[/quote]

+1. What many studies have proven time and again and organizations is that minority parents DO want their kids to succeed in school.  However often there are systems in place that require understanding and time to navigate if one wishes for their child to be in the best place for success.

Ask why is it in the same district some schools have homework and others don’t.  Some English classes complete a novel or more per quarter and some might not complete any a year.  Some ES school websites are full of information about the new ELA program (CKLA) and others have nothing.

Yes there does need to be parenting going on at home, but high expectations of students and what school is supposed to deliver should be present across the entire district regardless of school or location.

Additionally there is history to contend with and the idea that major minority schools are somehow lesser.[/quote]
