On today’s episode, we delve deep into the critical issue of educational disparities faced by Black boys. Join us as we unravel the complex web of perceptions that label them as defiant, leading to disproportionate rates of placement in special education programs and harsher discipline. We also shed light on the alarming reality of a mental health crisis affecting Black boys beyond the classroom, and the profound impact it has on their academic outcomes.
This episode aims to challenge stereotypes and reveal the systemic issues contributing to the educational struggles faced by Black boys. Together, we explore strategies to address these disparities, foster inclusivity, and create an educational environment that truly meets the needs of every student.
