Dear Editor: I am responding to the letter you published last week by the Reverend Amos Matthews, who correctly notes that 70 percent of African-American high school students in San Francisco will complete the year with a mean average grade of D-plus. According to Rev. Matthews, this abysmal performance is mostly the fault of the school board.
- In other words, African-American school children are victims, and as such not responsible for their actions. I am African-American and I’m tired of being portrayed as a victim.
- Parents are failing their children by not being involved, by not taking an interest. Leadership is needed and that leadership begins at home. There needs to be a comprehensive evaluation not of the school system, but rather of African-American parents who choose not to be involved.
- Many Asian students who face language and cultural barriers seem to perform well in school. The problems they face are equal to if not greater than problems faced by African-American students.
- Each morning while waiting to board the bus I see many students going to school. Unfortunately, 60 to 70 percent of African-American students do not have books. I can only assume that they are not prepared for what awaits them in school.
- I don’t blame the teachers or the school board for these students’ lack of preparation; rather, I blame the parents who would allow their children to come home without books. The parents of these children have failed them and this is where you need to concentrate your efforts, Rev. Matthews.
