Black Education / Schools : The Hidden Curriculum...

[OnTyme]

Does anyone here believe that there is a hidden curriculum outside of the class room that certain ethnicity's have more access to then other groups?

Why I am bringing this up is because my boyfriend and I were discussing the future and who and how we would educate our children in the future and he often talks about the hidden curriculum. and why White children score higher in tests like the SATs. He said that though culture may be linked to this, he thinks it has more to do with access to privy information. that white have that blacks do not have.

Has anyone else heard of this?

We can start by creating our own curriculum but only if we can cancel our nail and hair appointments, put the basketballs, MP3 players, hellphones down and stop chasing the opposite sex.

Then take the babies to a park, beach, etc (be creative) with a couple of books written by some of our Generals/Elders and other books on math, science, history and just stare into their beautiful eyes as we read to each other under a tree and talk about life the good and bad
