Three African American parents discover that their kids, in separate incidents, have each been suspended for "disrespecting" their teacher. Are these isolated incidents or are they indicative of a broader racial pattern?
Making the Grade can help answer that question. It is a new tool to assess how your schools measure up to racial equity standards. This easy-to-use computer program walks journalists, parents, students, or teachers through a series of research tasks. Making the Grade then produces an "A" through "F" grade and explains where the school or district is failing their responsibility to equal education.
