Education
So many of our young black men are not attending college and even worse, not finishing high school.....Their excuse.....School isn't for me....How do we feel about that..
Hello, New to the Blog, I believe that their are other forms of education, vocational and others venues than just college. But I also believe that is an excuse to just say that education is not for me if there is no other way to be successful, such as selling drugs and other illegal activities is the right thing to do. I admit as a teacher that it is harder for our black males to get to college but that is for African American females also. I think this is where the community needs to get involved and how? I have no clue where to begin, because everything sounds good for a solution but the execution is the problem (another topic for another day lol).

Michele thank you for your comment....I fully agree with you. There are other ways to be educated.
