[quote=Anonymous]The Brewsters held an informal dinner party for the black families, one mom chimed in that 95% of the AA students there had emotional issues. Were the Brewsters considered leaders among this particular group, did these families at the party also live a distance from the school and sort of considered themselves on the "outside?" One parent said that she was aware of white students with the same struggles at the school. Too bad we didn't learn the matriculation details of the other AA boys who graduated with Idris' class. I wonder about the experience of the 5% of AA students who appeared to be succeeding, perhaps they were from affluent families or arrived at the school with coping strategies learned from their social set -- families with children who attended Dalton/a Dalton or were they the girls?
