Obstacles Black Boys Face in Term Paper

Unfortunately, in what concerns the educational system, black boys do not receive the support needed and they are constantly punished instead of being showed a better alternative of living and learning. Our educational system should focus on providing every child with an equal education, irrespective of his cultural background.

If parents would be more concerned with their children education and if our schools would focus more on rehabilitating a troubled child than punishing him, perhaps black boys would have a better life and higher chances of success.
