Social media allows me to keep up with students. Guy Todd Jr. was one of my first 3rd graders in Watts, CA from Compton Ave Elementary in LAUSD in 1997. He just finished with his Doctorate degree. Don’t sleep on kids from the “hood” you have to stay around long enough to see the fruit from the seeds being planted.

The data says having just one black male teacher in grades 3-5 decreases dropout rates by 39% and increases college interest by 29% especially for Black boys.
