[quote=Anonymous]The PBS documentary American Promise is (unknowingly) about the very issues raised in this thread. I say "unknowingly" because the Stanford & Harvard educated doctor and his Columbia Law educated wife thought they were making a documentary about how African-American boys are miseducated at elite, predominately white private schools like Dalton. However, it is clear to viewers their son's problem is THEM and their insistence on getting him into the Ivy League by any means necessary. There is an interesting thread in the Older Kids and Teens forum that includes a link to the documentary here: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/360514.page And here's a link to the actual documentary: http://www.pbs.org/pov/americanpromise/full.php#disqus_thread It's a worthwhile watch. Hopefully some of the parents will see themselves in this documentary and alter their approach to parenting. [/quote]
