Save Our Children
Dr Twyla J. Williams
Written from the perspective of black parents advocating for their children, this summation of problems within today's educational system maintains that challenges arise not from the home environment but from school insensitivity and lower expectations. Parents must often resist misconceptions of white teachers to prevent their children from being suspended or unfairly placed in special education. With knowledgeable advice and sympathetic solutions for confronting racism, classism, lack of understanding, and lack of appreciation for cultural differences, the study draws from a wealth of experience to teach parents everything they need to know about their rights to fight for prime education for their children, including how to evaluate schools and what alternative options they have to unacceptable ones.
