not for black kids, it depends heavily on what teacher you get, teachers are quick to label your kid instead of working with them and the story seems to always change which has created a lack of trust and suspicion, they test them like teenagers but refuse to send reference materials home so the kids can practice and so the parents can know what they are working on Close Quote
