[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost every study shows it's 2 things

1.  For the Rs People of color actually do act out more, and objectively perform at a lower level in school

2.  For the Ds Most people are still racist and treat people of color differently

I’ve taught in both high poverty majority minority schools and Ws in this county. A clear disparity in ability, motivation, and parenting doesn’t exist. Sure, you can find enough examples to satisfy your confirmation bias, but there’s just as many non-examples. A white kid goes to California for two weeks, it’s an educational trip and an excused absence. A Latino kid goes to El Salvador for the same amount of time and it’s an unexcused family vacation. I’ve taught plenty of white middle schools whose parents were disengaged and plenty of AA and Latino ones where the parents were a great support.

And I can absolutely tell you that there are racist teachers and admins. When you point out the discrepancy in how they talk about and act towards white vs. minority children, they get angry. MCPS needs to focus on identifying and removing racist staff.[/quote]
Do black students in a school led by a black principal have less reported suspension?  There are a lot of principals are black, most of them were wonderful teachers in classroom before they left classroom.  It will be interesting to breakdown data into each HS or MS to see if the race of the principals plays any role in student suspension.  [/quote]
