We have to reach black boys at the elementary level within the educational system so that they have an idea what college is like. For example, take them to colleges in their early years. Have symposiums for parents to talk to their children about college.
It should start in pre-K. You'd be surprised how many parents don't enroll their kids in pre-K and then when they start elementary school, they're already behind.
It does start in elementary and a lot of the boys are fine. It’s middle school where they get lost. That’s because black male culture starts to seep in.
@@Lovelyone1 In a perfect world, black boys would go to some type of single-gender school, where they not only learn the usual curriculum but they learn about autonomy and self-discipline, as well as accountability, critical thinking and emotional intelligence. They'd get assessed for any learning issue and have after-school tutoring for extra help. They get introduced to different career paths, so they can envision possibilities for themselves.
Dr. Edward Bush, President of Consumnes River College, solidly vindicated Eboni K Williams on the importance of High Expectations for our boys from parents, from teachers, and from our community in order for our young men to achieve academically as well as in their careers. Keep up the great work Eboni K Williams!

Make college debt free & more importantly put trade skills back into high school (many majority black school districts across the south are already doing that) which guarantees jobs after high school, opposed to going to college, aka creating multiple avenues for success college doesn’t automatically means success
Technical colleges require just 2 years of learning, and they are cheaper. Many currently exist. Why not push students to attend these schools if trade education is not available in high schools?
Please. More excuses for the lazy black male. They have the opportunity to go to trade school and it’s largely free (if they are poor) or only cost a few thousand dollars ($2,000 to $5,000) if they have to pay. So what is your excuse now???

Establish better pipeline on showing various ways to finance post high school as well as opportunities in fields that may include, but not limited to certification, trade, entrepreneurship, degree, etc. Exposure and opportunity are part of the solutions.
More excuses!! We live in the Information Age. All these lazy males have to do is ASK. Or better yet, there is this thing called the Internet and I hear it’s full of information…some even say that you can access it on your phone or use it for free at a library 😮.
As a black man with a masters that works for the government, i guess its true but theres more to it. I also worked in a trade job for a while as well. Trades are not meant for everyone. Your career finds you as long as you go out there looking. If black men are not going to college there are multiple factors to it.
Some of universities be soooo racist towards black men shit be overwhelming. Black women don't face the same type of racism in majority white environments and that's a fact

I tell every high school male student.. If you want to be around the highest number of attractive women from all over the world in your life... then go to college.... And while you're there you might as well finish school and get a degree 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️💯💯
The reason why the trades are so popular is that a large percentage of us black men are functionally illiterate. Prison and the military are the two places where a lot of us learn to read and write. Second grade reading and ninth grade algebra determine futures.
Make college free, But college doesnt help unless you go into STEM. Black men who are in STEM will be successful. usesless degrees do nothing but add to debt or time wasted he could been working two jobs mcdonalds and quick trip and investing one paycheck blindly in the stock market and came out better.
The problem is NOT useless degrees. The problem IS that black men are NOT attending college at all. Also, black men are making themselves very unsuitable for marriage by NOT attending college in the first place.
