[quote=Anonymous]I'm glad this thread revived. I just watched it and my heart broke as I saw the self confidence and self belief erode in these boys. It seemed like putting them in a Hunter or Stuyvesant, which would have been more diverse, might have been a better option. It was sobering because I am a white mother of a 4 year-old biracial boy who is confident and smart and a product of Ivy League parents. Dad is from Africa, so didn't grow up with same issues. We are pursing independent schools, but this really scared me. My q is for parents of AA boys in independent schools: how do instill a strong sense of self esteem to ensure your boy doesn't internalize any implicit bias that he may not be good enough as good as others? My son is very confident right now and I want to make sure he continues to believe in his abilities. [/quote]
