Best Way to Keep a Black Youngster in School

The youngster's school setting which recognizes his efforts and potential is the greatest factor in assuring that the youngster will graduate. 

While testing and holding teachers and administers accountable has a role, too much is often made of this to the detriment of the student. 

Teachers become inclined to "teach to the test" to make themselves look good, to get a bonus or both. 

It can even lead teachers and administers to cheat and short-change the student as what happened in Atlanta, Georgia a few years ago by criminal and greedy Black teachers and principals.   

Again, recognizing the youngster's efforts and potential is the greatest factor in assuring that the youngster will graduate.
