What can parents do to help their children excel in school?

Parents need to get educated about education. They need to know the meaning of the terms Special Ed, ADHD, and school suspension rules. Parents need to read the school’s student code of conduct. If parents haven’t read and familiarized themselves with the rules, then they don’t know the possible grounds for the school to suspend or expel their child.

The reason that I mentioned suspension and expulsion is because of the recent report which revealed that black boys are being disproportionately suspended and expelled as compared to white boys for the exact same offenses. This is very important as it relates to the Black/White Test Gap because black students (especially black boys) are being suspended so much that they are not being given an opportunity to learn. Then when the black student can’t learn, the school officials will bring up allegations of Special Education. The child doesn’t need Special Education; the child isn’t being allowed to receive a regular education because he is being suspended two or three days per week. I recommend that parents read my book entitled Psycho-Academic Holocaust: The Special Education & ADHD Wars Against Black Boys.
