I keep seeing these statistics regarding the achievement gap between African-American and white children. It frustrates me that the impact of the family is ignored. 75% of African-American children grow up in single-parent homes. Children with one parent are more likely to live in poverty. Poverty impacts performance. Why this is never addressed? Asian children often live in the inner city, but perform well in school. This is due to stronger families and emphasis on education. Until we are honest; risking be called racist, we will never solve the problem. A tree cannot grow with damaged roots!
