So when I rang up the school and had a grumble at them, I was told that he was a non acheiver and that all he would do was sit at the back of the class and act a clown. But when I was talking to him, he told me he was sat at the back and ignored. So yes, I do agree with Ingcogintias on this one chuck as everyone in life should be able to do what they want to do and not to be ignored!!!!!

Then I would suggest that perhaps the problem may be with the teacher, in that case at least?

What I am saying is that we should give ALL under-achievers a helping hand, and not just black kids. To suggest that is abhorrent, and as I mentioned earlier, the chap from the the CRE should be fired. Incidentally, CRE stands for Commission for Racial Equality. Hardly what he is suggesting, would you agree?

I do not believe this will work. Take a simple example, many minor criminals once jailed go on to become major criminals. Its a fact that has been acknowledged for several years now. Segregation is not the attitude to take for disafeccted youths. It *will* lead to many becoming worse.

Well I expect his days are numbered now.I suspect that he was only trying to get a debate going about the plight of many young black teenage boys living in urban areas and attending urban schools where they are the majority in the schools that they attend.I suspect that his message has got entirely lost in all the rhetoric anyway.
