That is very interesting stuff and you won't find me arguing with suggestions made therein on what black kids can do to improve their chances for success. Would you happen to know how many of the kids in your classes, on a percentage basis, were being raised by a single parent, and then how many of those kids parent were on welfare? And then do you know did your school district keep statistics on graduation rates from HS according to neighborhoods? I know that is lot of data to ask for, but I'm just seeing if it is possible to quantify what we are talking about here so its not just our opinions being voiced.
