[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black MCPS parent here. A lot of good comments said so far. One consideration is that even in diverse or majority minority schools, your child may experience racism and bullying on the basis of their skin color or ethnicity, especially if your child is Black American (non-immigrant).

Long story short, I don’t believe you will find a school in MCPS that will go above and beyond to protect your boy, without a fair amount of pushing and engagement on your part. You will need to be an advocate, actively engaged with school leadership and PTA, and with each teacher individually to foster that level of support and to establish accountability channels. We do it and it’s a lot of work, but it works.

Also consider engaging your child in activities that acknowledges and celebrates Blackness. We often are engaged in activities in DC and PG, especially sports like swimming and tennis. There are also groups like Jack and Jill and Mocha Moms. If you are D9 or HBCU you can plug into those connections. [/quote]
