Article “McCaskey tries new mentoring program, School experiments with all –black homerooms” explains “Initially, some McCaskey East students and staff objected to separating out black students… But [McCaskey East principal Bill] Jimanez said the academic data dictated the school take a different approach with its black students… ‘Let’s look at the data, let’s not run from it,’ he said. ‘Let’s confront it and see what we can do about it.’”
WATCHDOG: Two shakes of the tail for a well written, balanced, insightful and responsible article on what if sensationalized could be a powder keg. Also congratulations to the School District of Lancaster for the devotion and courage to try what could be a controversial project.”
A real program to address “No child left behind”! I hope it’s very successful. And kudos to SDL, a school with a lot of challenges AND a lot of heart.
