What Are the Real Risk Factors for African American Children?
Jackson, Jacquelyne Faye
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n4 p308-12 Dec 1999
Educators should banish the specter of African-American children as high-risk, budding disasters and closely examine these children's schooling environment. Black children of all incomes are schooled in highly segregated settings, due to residential segregation. Exposure to health hazards (lead-based paint) and corporal punishment are serious problems.
