African American Students Fighting At School

What's with all the fighting?


Do African American students think they can fight their boss, or co-workers on the job?


Do they know fighting will make them unemployable?

Low Performing Neighborhood Schools

Have the Chicago Teachers Union offer their plan to improve low performing neighborhood schools?

Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel’s wants to ensure that every child in Chicago has access to a world-class learning experience. Mayor-elect Emanuel also wants more parental involvement. Now that’s the main challenge facing Chicago’s low performing schools.

I don’t know what goes on in other communities but in the African American community it is obvious we need more prenatal involvement.

It would be great if the Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis and Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel aggressively encourage more African American parents to get involve in their children’s education.

Public Schools vs. Charter Schools

If all of the Chicago Public Schools where good schools there would be no need for Charter Schools.

African Americans will be around, but we will be irrelevant.

African American Chicago has never recovered from the Mayor Eugene Sawyer and Alderman Timothy Evans debacle. Today’s African American Chicago suffers from a chronic case of “lack of visionary leadership”. In Chicago and as in the rest of urban America, African Americans will be around, but we will be irrelevant.
