[quote=Anonymous]This is nothing new for African American parents. My mother noticed my grades were being deflated in elementary school! She averaged all my math grades and came up with a much higher average. The teacher apologized, corrected the “error” and we all moved on.. In high school, the black kids were the only ones whose test scores (every few years, we sat exams that were graded blind by external correctors) whose grades magically increased when the grading was blind. At the end of high school, my college counselor didn’t agree with the mix of schools I applied to. My mother read the counselor the riot act, the school did right by me and I got into H/Y/P. This happens to many, many upper middle class black kids. You just never hear about here because their parents don’t sue. [/quote]
