A white I know teaches in a mostly black high school. They keep a massive hall monitor in all halls so the students are never out of sight. He has a hall monitor outside his class. The school expels any students who give him trouble. He said the school and school board are thrilled with his efforts to teach. The black boys are less thrilled. But as they’ve eliminated the trouble makers the other student’s performance has improved. The all black county school board visited his classes last week.

Before I read your post I thought there must be plenty in that community who are SICK of the thugs running the classrooms.
I would like to live in a society where the thugs do not run ANYTHING.
I hate it that the thugs run the streets in some areas.
I hate it that the thugs set the media agenda in 95% of the media.
I hate it that the thugs run the prisons.
And I hate it that the thugs run the universities.
I would like to see society rise up and rid ourselves of thugs.
It's usually the boys. I mean, my experience is limited because although I've been a teacher for 11 years now, most of my students are Latino. I get about 4 black students a year. But my experience is: the girls are great. Often one of the best in the class. But the boys... I'm lucky if all they are is lazy.
I’d be amazed if that lasts.
