Educational Imperatives For African American Boys In
Elementary Education : A 25 page research paper that
examines the way in which changes in arrest rates and crime
statistics for African American youth has affected
perceptions about boys from this ethnic group which are
then generalized in the classroom to low status positions,
low expectations for academic success, and lack of access
to opportunities to achieve educationally. The paper shows
how these issues have been addressed both in the
educational research literature and in interventions in the

arguing that only the government (State and Federal) can
repair the current educational system. Even though parents
who can afford it are sending their children to private
schools to make up for the government’s error, many
parents cannot do so. Therefore, the federal guidelines
handed down by President Clinton may be the only solution
for most of the children in public school today. In any case,
based on the evidence, the public school system must be
reformed for future generations. Bibliography lists 9
