 News flash, black parents want academic rigor and high expectations and better options for their kids. [/quote]

Haven't you heard? In the new era of the woke-police, white people need to assume that all black children come from single family households (or foster care) and are incapable of advancing academically beyond wherever they are in school right now. To assume black kids (like all kids) can do better and push black kids and demand more from them (as white people and teachers would with all other kids) is apparently now racist. Oh, and black kids who are morbidly obese in ES need to be praised for their "curves" and their parents similarly praised for loving them enough to feed them food that causes diabetes and other major health concerns.

It is no wonder that the families of top performing black kids flee DCPS and HRCS before our kids internalize these limiting messages about their capabilities and worth.     [/quote]

No, people need to assume that packing a child's lunch, or choosing food that is in a child's lunch is a parental responsibility, and that telling a child that their parent did a poor job of something, and to go back and tell their parent to do it differently is offensive.

And people need to assume that, as always, government failed to provide adequate resources for schools, and advocates for and welcome to bring tears into classrooms, that sometimes volunteers are going to do best things. And he will sometimes over share, they will sometimes be pretty useless, table make invasive comments, some of which may be or be felt to be racist, sexist or classist, and they will sometimes just be unhelpful. But, that’s what you get. You’ll find the same things with teachers, fellow parents, fellow students and others. The idea that we are going to spend money training volunteers not to say somewhat invasive, get largely accurate, things seems crazy to me. Honestly, I think the time and money would be better spent training volunteers on how to be actually useful, or to causing teachers and administrators to identifying tasks where volunteers can make a difference without needing additional training.  And don’t think for a moment that kids and other adults aren’t commenting on lunches, whether it be envy of Lunchables by other kids, disdain for Lunchables by teachers, I rolling at the Uber begin parents who question every hot dog, what have you. Training volunteers on this as a racial issue, as opposed to training people had to actually teach kids skills, seems completely unhelpful misdirect to me.
