POPSParents claim racism in Harper Lee's Alabama hometown
"There are policies and practices that serve to criminalize youth and push them out of classes — primarily children of color," Kim said. Monroe County School system attorney Mark Boardman said the lawsuit's allegations were investigated and found to be "baseless." A review of discipline records showed no disciplinary disparity between races, he said, and the district is seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed. "Three other lawyers have been involved in this case and decided — after learning the facts — not to take it," Boardman said. Yates said her son's self-esteem has declined since he enrolled there as a sixth grader. Yates said she asked to attend her son's classes after he began having trouble and saw a black teacher telling students they were "lazy and slow." The same teacher also gave her son an 'F' on a project in which students were to design a futuristic pair of pants. The teacher told Yates' son his project "looks like something a slave would wear," the mother said

POPSSupernanny kids torch home Except for the fact that the house was afire, this could be funny. It appears that the parents had there own problems which may have contributed to the children's. The 3-year old was a quick learner of some bad behavior. I don't envy people who have children and then lack the resolve and self-discipline to train and teach them. My advice has always been, set the boundaries and rules when they're toddlers, cause you can't start training them as teens. If they're out of control at 3, imagine what they will be at 13!

POPSMale teachers help boys "behave" First thought, "well duh!" Second thought: I think the way the teacher teaches is the bigger factor- if you are able to connect and adapt better to the students' learning style, you will have a greater impact, regardless if you are the same gender or not. I have seen many boys completely "railroad" a male teacher, and completely shudder when they see a female one. The quality of their work, school experience and learning? Now that's a different matter!
