This book introduces the concept of "reflective discipline" as an approach to address the problem of racial disparity. Many educators are not aware of the damages they cause in young black boys' lives. These young students entering school for the first time with bright eyes and smiles hoping to learn have contagious energy. They soak in everything, unfortunately, the negative message will outnumber the positives throughout their school years. They soon realize that any small infraction, harsh words, or rule change is usually directed towards them. Zero tolerance is the defining target for them. Total dismissal of these students as "capable of learning" immediately becomes the norm. This book reflects the place where education have fallen short in helping recognize the needs of minority students placed in their care.
