This isn't the first time I've read something that concludes more Blacks need to consider becoming teachers and professors.

Parental involvement in their children's education is so very important Capt Dwayne Conyers. I'm sure the foot in the arse was important too!

Black students are more likely to graduate if they have a supportive, caring, DISCIPLINED environment. I'm not sure color makes a difference. Men in the classroom might.

The article states the most difference comes from grades 3,4,5. Curious that those grades are specifically chosen by the study.

Good point. I once read that situations during that timeframe had the longest lasting effect on a child's future development. Your thoughts?

I've been a substitute elementary teacher for Texas. Male representation in primary grades is a minority and there may be 1-2 black men in our district's elementary schools. In my opinion, the findings are plausible. Mentorship makes a big difference and can be statistically proven. I believe that the biggest determining factor in a child's education comes from parental encouragement/involvement.
