Heh....I'm speaking from a "white perspective"? Fascinating.

Doesn't make it wrong at all.

Some good "sent to your room" time combined with holding them back a grade would likely work wonders here.

You did not understand my comment. Your white perspective is not relevant to whether it is good or bad, but how it will be recieved and the impact it will have. You still think this could improve their behaviour. Your entire analysis assumes the behaviour and thought patterns you encoded in your brain for humans which you use to understand the world. These are very deeply ingrained beliefs that you never think about. Your entire life experiences come from almost entirely white people, and the select black people who escaped the ghetto.

I gew up in Chicago. It is a different breed here and other left wing big cities. I guarantee that not one of them will have inproved attendance or behaviour, and there is a good chance they see this as an unfair attack on them which they will use as justification to retaliate and behave even worse.
