More than 85% of America’s black male 4th grade students are not proficient in reading.
According to the United States Department of Education,
more than 85% of America’s black male 4th grade students are
not proficient in reading.
In an increasingly global and knowledge-based economy,
poor reading skills among young black boys today will produce
black men who are unprepared to compete in the workforce
of tomorrow.
Four key factors contribute to low reading proficiency
among black boys: limited access to engaging reading material;
lack of black men in black boys’ early childhood learning experiences;
few culturally competent educators; and educational systems that are
unresponsive to Black boys’ individual learning needs.
I would be in favor of not de-funding the police but redirecting some of the
funds for programs that help change this trend

Parents don’t have to have fancy puzzles, toys, or
even be able to read. All parents have to do is talk,
interact, and engage with their children in every day
life conversations.
