[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the last two posters. To all of the above that posted about whether the behavior was different, if you have different outcomes based on race, you're not going to get the same description of the problem or a way to objectively quantify that data.

I read the study and it doesn't tell you whether or not they took SES into consideration, but it doesn't matter if they did or not. These aren't high school kids or even middle school kids bringing weapons or selling drugs, these are four.year.olds. Regardless of the circumstances, [b]it is NEVER developmentally appropriate to suspend a four year old EVER and suspension doesn't accomplish anything. [/b]The study also tells you that AA children are less likely to have qualified and experienced teachers, less likely to have access to higher level class. Honestly the list goes on and on and if you are constantly questioning all the copious amounts of research that all point to the same thing, making rude and dismissive comments on all of it and then are whiny when someone questions whether you might be biased and racist, well it might be because you are and it's obvious to all of us. And I say this as a white person.

So please move out of PGCPS or go back to subgroup for the county you live in now.[/quote]

Really?  Prove it.

Developmentally, it might be appropriate for a 4 yr old to need a very small group environment or one on one attention.  Not all children at the age of 4 are going to be able to adapt to a large group environment.  A 4 yr old can be distracting and hurtful to other children and yes, removing the child accomplishes quite a bit.

Medicaid needs to cover  testing, ADD therapy and medication. This will help out tons of AA boys heading to elementary school.
