Discipline Gap

In a new study, prospective teachers were more likely to judge behavior as hostile if the child was African American.

A study by the Government Accountability Office finds that black students, boys, and students with disabilities were disproportionately disciplined.

There is more than an achievement gap between white and black Americans in our education system; there is a discipline gap too. African-American students without disabilities are more than three times as likely to be expelled or suspended as their white peers.
