New York Times Article shows that WE need to act now

The article, Proficiency of Black Students Is Found to Be Far Lower Than Expected by Trip Gabriel, which came out earlier this week states that black students are not achieving. This is not surprising...it is frustrating. When are we going to stop talking about it and when are we going to start being about it?? Enough with the books, enough with the forums, and enough with the research can we please just change the system? Can we please create schools where all of the educators are effective and the curricula is creating students that are well versed in reading, math, history, science, geography, and the arts? For all of you researchers, book and article writers and community advocates can you please get into our schools and volunteer to help the students that you continue to research, write about and advocate for? They need you!!!
